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 bar lights. And the band plays some song about forgetting yourself for a while. And the piano’s this melancholy soundtrack 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 cross. The room’s 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 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 homeless and lost in the haze of the wine.
Then 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. Oh and when your friends say, “What is it? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
Then you walk, under the streetlights. And you’re too drunk to notice, that everyone is staring at you. You just don’t 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. You know that she’ll break you in two.
Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eye
I've been waiting i've been waiting for this moment all my life but it's not quite right
and this 'real' it's impossible if possible at who's blind word so clear but so unheard
i've been waiting i've been waiting for this silence all night long it's just a matter of time
to appear sad with the same 'ol decent lazy eye fixed to rest on you aim free and so untrue
everyone's so intimately rearranged everyone can focus clearly with such shine
everyone's so intimately rearranged everyone can focus clearly with such shine
lost and loaded still the same 'ol decent lazy eye straight through your gaze that's why i said i relate i said we relate it's so fun to relate
it's the room the sun and the sky it's the room the sun and the sky
i've been waiting i've been waiting for this moment...
Incubus - Warning
Bat your eyes girl, be otherworldly. Count your blessings. Seduce a stranger. What's so wrong with being happy? Kudos to those who see through sickness. (yeah) Over and over and over and over and ooh...
She woke in the morning. She knew that her life had passed her by And she called out a warning: "Don't ever let life pass you by!"
I suggest we learn to love ourselves before it's made illegal. When will we learn? (When will we learn?) When will we change? (When will we change?) Just in time to see it all come down. Those left standing will make millions writing books on the way it should have been.

Floating in this cosmic jacuzzi, we are like frogs oblivious to the water starting to boil. No one flinches. We all float face down.
She woke in the morning. She knew that her life had passed her by And she called out a warning, "Don't ever let life pass you by... pass you by..."
The Beatles - Within you, Without you
We were talking-about the space between us all And the people-who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion Never glimpse the truth-then it's far too late-when they pass away. We were talking-about the love we all could share-when we find it To try our best to hold it there-with our love With our love-we could save the world-if they only knew. Try to realize it's all within yourself No-one else can make you change And to see you're really only very small, And life flows ON within you and without you. We were talking-about the love that's gone so cold and the people, Who gain the world and lose their soul- They don't know-they can't see-are you one of them? When you've seen beyond yourself-then you may find, peace of mind, Is waiting there- And the time will come when you see we're all one, and life flows on within you and without you.
