Left you a note by the bed saying thanks for the night 

Tripped on the phone as I left and I woke up the cat 

I took a long last look at you asleep on the bed 

I stole a paper from your neighbor for the bus ride back 



But things are never what they seem, c'mon 

Now hold your breath for what comes next 



This game of chess 

Where everything stays set 

And no one makes a move 

So no one gets upset 

And nothing breaks your heart 

No nothing shakes your bed 

Don't start me, Don't start me 



Outside on the streets on the 5th of July 

It was a better day to be a little bitter on the inside 

I turned a corner and the sun went blind 

I had a vision you were with me when the fireworks died 



But things are never what they seem, c'mon 

She's blushing red but what comes next 



Yet I confess 

The things you said 

The mess you left 

Your silhouette 

It's got me calling to let you know 

To let you know I won't forget
