The jukebox hums low like it knows my name
Her hands twist in the folds of her dress
She gets so anxious around me and looks into my eyes longingly
But she chooses another man because her friends insist on it
Her gaze holds a spark like lightning in slow motion
And I can feel the storm building under her skin
The room is warm but my chest is burning cold
Every glance from her cuts deeper than the last
She gets so anxious around me and looks into my eyes longingly
But she chooses another man because her friends insist on it
My heart beats wild in the dark like a runaway train
While her touch is a ghost that drives me insane
The smoke curls above the bar like questions unspoken
Her laugh floats to me soft as a summer night wind
She gets so anxious around me and looks into my eyes longingly
But she chooses another man because her friends insist on it
Her shadow sways closer like it wants to stay
Then turns away before the truth can land
A neon sign blinks red over the doorway she walks through
The glass in my hand trembles though I stand still
She gets so anxious around me and looks into my eyes longingly
But she chooses another man because her friends insist on it
Her perfume lingers like a promise half kept
And I breathe it in like I might never again
The night air outside cuts sharp as broken bone
And I watch her laughter fade into someone else's arms
If her friends could feel the weight in her stare
They'd know the truth she won't dare to speak
The fire in me roars louder with each step she takes away
Until my soul feels like it might split in two
She gets so anxious around me and looks into my eyes longingly
But she chooses another man because her friends insist on it
My heart beats wild in the dark like a runaway train
While her touch is a ghost that drives me insane
She gets so anxious around me and looks into my eyes longingly
But she chooses another man because her friends insist on it
