Josh Wolfsohn - As Sylvie Lyrics

As Sylvie butts her cigarette out on the concrete floor
She's sitting head in hands outside the coffee shop back door
She starts to reminisce then digs her nails into her thigh
To stop herself thinking so well of the man who left her side

Her supervisor steps outside; she thinks her break is up
Instead he asks, "what's wrong, what made that pretty smile drop?"
"Last year I had a man but, as my sadness surely shows
The first light of January greeted me alone"

His car was on her drive last night in her dream
A knocking at the door had poor Sylvie deceived
She rushed downstairs to answer it; the gravel ground was clear
Her eyes welled up like broken taps; she knew he wasn't here

"I'll get the cheapest airline ticket across the Atlantic I can find
Put all my shit in boxes and post a picture online
That'll shake him up, my packed-up stuff, on his Facebook feed
He doesn't wasn't me now; I bet he'll miss me when I leave"

As Sylvie sparks a cigarette, she's shutting her front door
She doesn't want his face on her home screen anymore
She's changed it to a rainbow and it's the first day of term
At college a boy she doesn't know holds the door for her
