When you walked into the room
I knew there was nothing I could do
When you walked into the room, I thought, "Here comes trouble"
You saw the cover of my book
And you thought that I was worth a look
I was seeking for a chance to start a conversation
We were getting on, but there were girls in the room
Too much to contemplate, but I was clearly consumed
You had a role to play, but the casting was wrong
You look quite amused
I was merging into you
And it seemed like the natural thing to do
I was younger, younger than I knew
You invited me into your rented room
Well, we swayed right through the room
I knew there was nothing I could do
There are choices that we make that have their own momentum
In a dark, Victorian room
The summer hill streetlights were creeping through
There are moments that we face that hold their own magnetism
We were getting on, but there were girls in the room
Too much to contemplate, but I was clearly consumed
You had a role to play, but the casting was wrong
You look quite amused
I was merging into you
And it seemed like the natural thing to do
I was younger, younger than I knew
You invited me into your rented room

I could recognise your distinctive stride from a quarter-mile
I'm telling you
I could recognise your distinctive smile at a quarter-mile
