I was stumbling when I met you I was sleeping on my feet You were shadows on the dance floor You were footsteps in the street I had my back against the window Singing someone else's song I never saw you coming I guess I should have known You came rushing through the doorway Like the winter, like a drug Like some secret I'd forgotten A memory lingering in my blood Thought I saw you moving towards me Beautiful and gray But if I had looked a little closer I'd have seen you turn away They said the devil's in the details I never paid that any mind If everything goes, I'd rather not know I ain't the leaving kind Snow was falling on the concrete My wheels were spinning in the ditch I was praying for a rainstorm Then I was drowning in my wish
You were someone's silent film star Reflected on my screen So I watched you moving backwards And started wondering what it means You hid the devil in the details And the rest got left behind It wasn't my town but I kept coming around I ain't the leaving kind Now your voice is in the hallway And you're shivering in the sheets Every laugh's a little thunder Every whisper, just a breeze And I'm shaking there beside you And I'm breathing like I'm scared I'll be back before you miss me Will you be gone before you care Well the devil's in the details And I ain't too hard to find Go on, disappear, I'll be standing right here I ain't the leaving kind Go on, disappear, I'll be standing right here I ain't the leaving kind
