It was a natural disaster when it happened
She wore a beautiful gown to the ball
And I told her my name out on the dance floor
I'm surprised she remembered me at all
It was some kind of instant connection
I could feel it so deep in my chest
And at first I assumed I was dying
But the thief had just taken my breath
And I let her get on the train in the morning
And I watched as she rode down the track
I let her get on the train in the morning
And I feared that I won't get her back
Now that you're gone
Can you leave me alone
And I'll sing this song
If it reaches your world
And maybe I'm wrong
Can you teach me the ropes
Can you teach me the ropes
And it felt like a kick to the stomach
I decided I would roll with the blows
Perhaps someday soon I could see her
But the time and the place, no one knows
And my head became clouded with liquor
I decided I would give her a call
Perhaps I could somehow remind her
Of a beautiful night at the ball
There's a hole in my lungs
I can't breathe anymore
'Cause we're not quite done
Can you please just come home
And maybe I'm drunk
You need to see me to know
You need to see me to know
'Cause I'm not quite finished don't you know
And it's not like me, to let you go
Oh, no I'm not quite finished
So now you know
No it's not like me to let you go
So I won't let you go
But I let her get on the train in the morning
And I watched as she down the track
Yeah, I let her get on the train in the morning
And I feared that I won't get her back
Well now that you're gone
Leave me alone
We're not quite done
Can you please just come home
And maybe I'm drunk
You need to see me to know
You need to see me to know
You need to see me to know
