[Verse 1]

I met her in a bar, no, I didn't really meet her

Smoky and dim, I couldn't really see her

Tall and thin, lost and tangled

Standing there in dreads, all edges and angles

[Verse 2]

She said, hello, I couldn't really hear her

I turned up her voice, tryin' to get near her

She said hello, all it took was just one second

I don't know, I don't know what I reckoned

[Chorus]

Standing at the bar, looks into my eyes

But I pull away in widened surprise

As I turn away, I feel like I could cry

But I can't turn back, and I don't know why

[Verse 3]

I don't understand, such strange circumstances

Lotsa second thoughts, but no second chancеs

Standing alone, left with just my thoughts

Let it go, don't gеt caught

[Verse 4]

I see her gaze, a look so fleeting

When I close my eyes, I can feel her breathing

She lingers on, I outline her shadow

Behind my eyes, but I cannot follow

[Chorus]

Standing at the bar, looks into my eyes

But I pull away, in widened surprise

As I turn away, I feel like I could cry

But I can't turn back, and I don't know why
