Lyrics:

When you and your cast of friends arrive
And the party reaches a new high
Don't you think it'll last too long?
Before you know it baby
They break out into that song
That I know I've heard it once or twice
From where, I just can't be precise
Even though it's irrelevant
It's as if I've woken from a confused and cloudy dream

CHORUS:
But you write the saddest songs,
Turn around, and make it a sing along
The heart-scratch melody
Means more than this for you and me, yeah

When you wait by the door looking for your ride
Where the shoes are piled up on the side
And the dancing's out of hand,
Don't leave just 'cause they won't play your favourite band
And the night, it goes on and on
And I'm waiting for slow songs
But I block out most of the singing replaced by bells
Is that your ride?
You only just arrived...

CHORUS:

And the night, it goes on and on
I'm through waiting for slow songs
But I block out most of the ringing
Replaced by thoughts unjustified
I wish that I could write

CHORUS:

If words could be combined
To describe your trademark look tonight
I'd write it out to boost my career
But you know that writing always takes me years
