Someone that I met but I hardly knew
He said that everyone loves a defective heart
He'd parted ways with diction, this was late last night
He see me getting your affection and it proved he was rightThe way I stared off thinking that all was sound
Anyone I knew they woulda called me downYou can break my legs, you can kick me downstairs
But there ain't no getting over Joanie Hale-Maier
Just let me walk away, ah let me walk awayAnd then the place ignite
It's in my face and I'm behind the basslineSomeone that I knew but I hardly met
Told me, it's hopeless I'm a slut for the New York Times
She made my heart soft, worn an aiguillette on her arm
She never been to Texas, never heard of King KongAnd it'd been so long since I'd been suitably high
So we did an Airborne, settled in for the nightTell me sweetness don't somehow reach your heart
Until you fall flat down and you can't wait to start
This is the one cold truth we've all of us known
As I think to myself this could be easy or I could face it aloneAnd then the place ignite
All out of grace and I'm behind the bassline
