Sometime Around Midnight - Brand New Rockers

And it starts

Sometime around midnight

Or at least that's when

You lose yourself

For a minute or two

As you stand

Under the barlights

And the band plays some song

About forgetting yourself for a while

And the piano's this melancholy soundcheck

To her smile

And that white dress she's wearing

You haven't seen her

For a while

But you know

That she's watching

She's laughing she's turning

She's holding her tonic like a crux

The room suddenly spinning

She walks up and asks how you are

So you can smell her perfume

You can see her lying naked in your arms

And so there's a change

In your emotions

And all of these memories come rushing

Like feral waves to your mind

Of the curl of your bodies

Like two perfect circles entwined

And you feel hopeless and homelss

And lost in the haze

Of the wine

And she leaves

With someone you don't know

But she makes sure you saw her

She looks right at you and bolts

As she walks out the door

Your blood boiling

Your stomach in ropes

And when your friends say what happened

You look like you've seen a ghost

And you walk

Under the streetlights

And you're too drunk to notice

That everyone is staring at you

And you so care what you look like

The world is falling

Around you

You just have to see her

You just have to see her

You just have to see her

You just have to see her

You just have to see her

And you know that she'll break you

In two
