When you and your cast of friends arrive And the party reaches a new high Don't you think it'll last too long Before you know it, baby They break out into that song That I know I've heard it once or twice From where I just can't be precise Even though it's irrelevant It's as if I've woken from A confused and cloudy dream But you write the saddest song Turn around and make it a singalong The heart scratch melody Means there's more than this for you and me When you wait by the door, look for your ride Where the shoes are piled up on the side And the dancing's out of hand Don't leave just 'cause they won't play your favourite band And the night it goes on and on And I'm waiting for slow songs But I block out most of the singing Replaced by bells, is that your ride? You only just arrived Could you write the saddest song Turn around and make it a singalong The heart scratch melody Means there's more than this for you and me Yeah And the night it goes on and on I'm through waiting for slow songs But I block out most of the ringing Replaced by thoughts unjustified I wish that I could write Could you write the saddest song Turn around and make it a singalong The heart scratch melody Means there's more to this than you and me If words could be combined To describe your trademark look tonight I'd write it out to boost my career But you know that writing always takes me years
