First encounters of a simpler kind Damn, it was easy, I was so surprised One nostalgic melancholy moment Felt it even as it passed me by
The tinny music from the radio, The first snow in a while A cup of coffee as the dawn was breaking The cigarettes inside
I like the way you’re slow to smile I like your eyes, I like you stoned and wild And if the night-time makes you lightning Well then I’m thunder in the distant sky
But every morning is a different story Let me see you in the light Is this a dream, some other dark confusion Or someone else’s life?
It’s alright It’s alright
Load us up on wells and cheap champagne We’re gonna shake this thing awake somehow We’ll make a scene, be seasick strangers Turning in the low light of a lonesome crowd
I’ve been brooding for a long time baby But I want to to shut it out I want to hide behind the big delusion Don’t let me down!
