about

A song about having a crush on bands when you watch them perform

lyrics

She walked to the balcony to have a cigarette
You were standing in the corner with some other hipsters from Melbourne
She took your light, you struck her with your ironic smile and she just stood there stunned

Your eyes intersected, she choked on her cigarette as she watched your face lit up by the moon
Drunk on her 16th wine, thinking up words to try to start to talk to you

But she could hardly speak, tounge stuck to her teeth, taking in all she could of you
You in that puzling light, ten minutes to midnight, boy if you only knew

If you only knew

She watched you up on the stage, engrossed by the parade as you killed her softly with your song
Wasting the night away, she danced then she swayed
It was you for whom she longed

But boy, she could hardly speak, 16 wines too deep
Taking in all she could of you
You in that puzling light, ten minutes to midnight, boy if you only knew

If you only knew
