lyrics

this ain't the first time
i stayed awake at night dreaming about you
in the park on the bench after dark
chilling out like Rodin's thinking statue
i made you one last mixed tape
and threw it into the bin labelled MIXED WASTE
it must have been your beauty

a kiss for the ages
4am halloween, streetlight watches
outside your old St-Denis flat
a promise and a puzzle upon us
you only fall in love once like we did
then you pull your heart off of the grid
it must have been your beauty

i try to look forward
but i can't seem to focus my view
and it's too soon to know
just how far i can go without you

say hello to the new you for me--
that's the one i might not get to meet
i'm still wearing the same pair of jeans
walking 'round like a grandad in heat
i emailed your mom secretly
just to ask her if you were okay
it must have been your beauty
