Song Description

Person is uncomfortable at chance meeting of long lost love.

Lyrics

VERSE 1
I'm uncomfortable
I didn't know you'd be here
standing in the corner
looking beautiful in candlelight

I barely catch my breath
trying to regain composure
my heart is racing
and my facade is fading fast

BRIDGE
I wonder "how long has it been...?
can you see me stalling...?"
trying so hard to pretend
disappear into the wall and

sacrifice my social grace
to never run into your face
'cuz I can feel I'm already falling....

CHORUS
so, don't speak... don't laugh
try not to look at me like that
'cause when you do, you know that I get
tongue tied and you suck me in
right back where we started once again
...cause you make a thousand feelings flood my heart

VERSE 2
I'm making small-talk
tapping into my polite side
I'm fairly sure that
my veneer is wearing thin

Did I say that?
You know, I really didn't mean to...
call you baby
but I wear you like a second skin

BRIDGE
With your intoxicating smile
I wouldn't last a minute
I can feel I'm already falling

(CHORUS)

REFRAIN
Can't begin to tell you how I feel
deep inside my head, I've been reeling since the day we parted
and I understand we weren't meant to be
but that doesn't tap the hurt inside that lingers on, and
everything I do reminds me of you
I can hardly believe it's really over, over, over, now...

(CHORUS 2X)
