THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT - Sometime Around Midnight lyrics

rate me

<BR>

And it starts<br>

Sometime around midnight<br>

Or at least that's when you lose yourself<br>

For a minute or two<br>

<br>

As you stand<br>

Under the bar lights<br>

And the band plays some song about forgetting yourself for a while<br>

And the piano's this melancholy soundtrack to her smile<br>

And that white dress she's wearing, you haven't seen her<br>

For a while<br>

<br>

But you know<br>

That she's watching<br>

She's laughing, she's turning<br>

She's holding her tonic like a cross<br>

The room suddenly spinning, she walks up and asks how you are<br>

So you can smell her perfume<br>

You can see her lying naked in your arms<br>

<br>

And so there's a change<br>

In your emotions<br>

And all of these memories come rushing like feral waves to your mind<br>

Of the curl of your bodies, like two perfect circles entwined<br>

And you feel hopeless, and homeless, and lost in the haze of the wine<br>

<br>

And she leaves<br>

With someone you don't know<br>

But she makes sure you saw her, she looks right at you and bolts<br>

As she walks out the door<br>

Your blood boiling, your stomach in ropes<br>

And then your friends say "What is it? You look like you've seen a ghost."<br>

<br>

And you walk<br>

Under the streetlights<br>

And you're too drunk to notice that everyone's staring at you<br>

You don't care what you look like<br>

The world is falling around you<br>

<br>

You just have to see her<br>

You just have to see her<br>

You just have to see her<br>

You just have to see her<br>

You just have to see her<br>

<br>

You know that she'll break you in two<br>

<BR><BR>
