Scenes From When I Was In Love
The Premier

We set the scene
An operating room in awe
Fluorescent lights, the bleach white walls
The tools and instruments look on in amazement
Cause I'm just a beating heart on this white tile floor
This chest cannot contain me anymore
This is the kind of passion that breaks ribs
This is the kind of hope that raises pulses
And this is what it's like to be alive
A suburban street in July
And it feels like I'm drowning
But it's just the humidity
It's just too damn hot in this car with the door ajar
Here's my thoughts
It's just the dome light
It's just the phone line
It's just her voice telling me it's alright
Just talk to me awhile and baby I'll be fine

She sips her coffee once or twice
And knows she won't sleep well tonight
She holds her cigarette so tight
It's like she's holding onto life
She sips her coffee once of twice
And knows I won't sleep well tonight
I'll rest my hand here on her thigh
To let her know that I'm alive
And when she smiles, I'm alright
And when she smiles, I'm alright
(There's a tear in her blue jeans that her fingers won't stop tracing
And if you don't just leave it be
The wound would get deeper darling
It's this simplicity that keeps me breathing)

A quiet dark bedroom
And for the next day or so, my sheets will smell of you
She's drifted off to sleep but I can't stop staring
Caught in the ins and outs of her breathing
And baby we're so fleeting
We're beautiful, we're timeless
But God, are we fleeting
Oh God, are we fleeting

She sips her coffee once or twice
And knows she won't sleep well tonight
She holds her cigarette so tight
It's like she's holding onto life
She sips her coffee once of twice
And knows I won't sleep well tonight
I'll rest my hand here on her thigh
To let her know that I'm alive
And when she smiles, I'm alright
And when she smiles, I'm alright
(There's a tear in her blue jeans that her fingers won't stop tracing
And if you don't just leave it be
The wound would get deeper darling
It's this simplicity that keeps me breathing)

She sips her coffee once or twice
And knows she won't sleep well tonight
She holds her cigarette so tight
It's like she's holding onto life
She sips her coffee once of twice
And knows I won't sleep well tonight
I'll rest my hand here on her thigh
To let her know that I'm alive
And when she smiles, I'm alright
And when she smiles, I could die
(There's a tear in her blue jeans that her fingers won't stop tracing
And if you don't just leave it be
The wound would get deeper darling
It's this simplicity that keeps me breathing)
