lyrics

On a late winter's evening persuaded out of leaving
we listened for the last tram that you wouldn't take home
removing my arm from your shoulder for another record to turn over
another bottle was full and another bottle was gone
and i kissed you, how romantic, well that wasn't how I planned it
you were just speaking in your native tongue and I didn't understand
but it sounded so sweet, so adorable in a language that doesn't
though it makes a nice story either way

and then came morning and though my heater was broken
I put a blanket over the window for another hour next to you
and your head, it was pounding, I hoped it wasn't my doing
so I added an asprin to our breakfast for two
and I'm sure there's details I'm forgetting though I know you'll remind me
selective hindsight has always been good to me
but the next day you were calling or I was more likely
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah oh the rest is history

and sometimes it seems like I'm living in a dream, but when I wake up, I still wake up next to you
and things are seeming to go pretty well I know
I couldn't write a better story if I wanted to
and sometimes it seems like I'm living in a dream, but when I wake up, I find it's a dream come true
and things are seeming to go pretty well I know
I couldn't write a better story if I wanted to
