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
