Some strange magic told him

It was meant to be

You have to admire the gall

To keep it up so long

From just an ephemeral thrill

But doesn't it always

Start this way?

You don’t have to tell me

How it came to this

When I should have rolled my eyes

You'd already gone

No doubt it was a genuine thrill

And doesn't it always

Start this way?

Remember when

He said we've got the same name

So it must be fate

I didn't have the heart to say

It’s just a thing around here

He said we want the same things

With a straight face

A little glint in your eye said

That's what you wanted to hear

Some strange magic told him

It was meant to be

And if you don’t feel it too

One of us is wrong

I know it’s a genuine thrill

And doesn't it always

Start this way?

Remember when

He said we've got the same name

So it must be fate

I didn't have the heart to say

It’s just a thing around here

He said we want the same things

With a straight face

A little glint in your eye said

That's what you wanted to hear
