I never told you that you made me cry
The first time I followed you home
You said I was welcome to stay for the night
You'd find me some comfortable clothes
And you didn't know
Where I had been
How much that offer had meant
And when I got home
I called my best friend
Said I'd found my faith again
There it was
Right in the palm of my mind
I saw the two of us
Somewhere in East Rotterdam
Oh there it goes, there it goes, oh, no, no
Guess it's just a flash in the pan
We were so, we were so, we were so close
I never told you you looked like a friend
That I had when I was a child
It made me feel comfortable holding your hand
Like I'd known you more of my life
And all the little things
I thought of as strings
Now every one of them stings
Your hand in the night
Twisted through mine
I can't get it out of my mind
There it was
Right in the palm of my mind
I saw the two of us
Somewhere in East Rotterdam
Oh there it goes, there it goes, oh, no, no
Guess it's just a flash in the pan
We were so, we were so, we were so close
Grief breaks my stride
Two or three hundred times and I
Think that I'm fine
Until the room's a little too quiet
And now I can't eat
And now I can't sleep
But all of the stars are still just out of reach
So I fantasise
Our paths will cross twice
That there's still a chance we can get it all right
Cuz there it was
Right in the palm of my mind
I saw the two of us
Somewhere in East Rotterdam
Oh there it goes, there it goes, oh, no, no
Guess it's just a flash in the pan
We were so, we were so, we were so close
We were so, we were so, we were so close
We were so, we were so, we were so close
Cuz there it was
