Someone that I met but I hardly knew

He said that everyone loves a defective heart

He'd parted ways with diction, this was late last night

He see me getting your affection and it proved he was right

The way I stared off thinking that all was sound



Anyone that I knew they would've called me found



You can break my legs, you can kick me downstairs

But there ain't no getting over Joanie Hale-Maier

Just let me walk away

Ah, let me walk away



And then the place ignite

It's in my face and I'm

Behind the bassline



Someone that I knew but I hardly met

Told me, it's hopeless I'm a slut for the New York Times

She made my heart soft, worn an aiguillette on her arm

She never been to Texas, never heard of King Kong

And it'd been so long since I'd been suitably high



So we did an Airborne, settled in for the night



Tell me sweetness don't somehow reach your heart

Until you fall flat down and you can't wait to start

This is the one cold truth we've all of us known

As I think to myself this could be easy or I could face it alone



And then the place ignite

All out of grace and I'm

Behind the bassline
