You made the call I watched the door to see you coming through And every time it was a warm September wind that blew then on the air that drifted in the faded smell of denial See, I don't know so I won't ask I think it's best that way can't be held responsible for what you didn't say so let's pretend that I'm not me and it's not you for a while This cigarette I'm pulling on that second pint that's nearly gone this hand that's sliding down my leg (Chorus) If there's one right thing you've got to do don't do it tonight and for once enjoy the view just out of the light if there's one last kiss we've got to have let's have it tomorrow it's a longshot, but a chance I've got to take It's fair to mention from the first that when you touched me there you're starting something that I'll finish so just be aware and if you mention one more time we could be soul mates I'll die it's easy now when I look back they call that "retrospect" if I had known that night would have such a ripple effect I might've been more likely just to let that sleeping dog lie This T.V. set we're dualing on my fighting words are nearly gone there's something sliding down my leg (repeat chorus) I foresaw the day when you would come and make it clear some things do better where you found them so we'll leave it here I'm only crying 'cause this cloud of smoke is burning my eyes and ever since the times when I am standing close to you I see the person that you are, the one I never knew Do you ever feel me anymore or are you too high? Ready get set here we go what's been going on? I don't know I've been standing tall on my last leg (repeat chorus) It's a longshot, from a world away in a time slot, on a pa**ing day you're a longshot, but a chance I've got to take
