The flashing of an eyelid The twinkle of an eye Was all it took to let me know that you were never shy
You told me you were on the run From hell hounds on your trail I told you I was going off the rails
And that was all the introduction that we knew No holding hands, no chaperones No restaurant for two
And with a flourish you took me by the hand And pushed my weary head into the sand
Chorus: And though I'm tired of the chase Take a marathon and squeeze it to a hundred meter race Cause I know if it's you I'm gonna miss Reduce it to a kiss, reduce it to a kiss
And we dined on bread and a beer Asking me if I was gonna run away in fear
I said that fear was furthest from my mind You might have thought it was a lie
And we faded to black like they do in a film My foot still on the floor your contacts still in Like a restaurant that serves you prepared and ready meals We both agreed it was surreal
(Chorus)
And in the morning you told me I was free And I walked home with yellow bruises on my feet
I must admit it was a way to pass the time A perfect way to draw a line
