[Verse 1]
I remember the first night I met you
You brushed past my arm at the bar
And suddenly it was like somebody somewhere
Scraped their keys down the side of my heart
Heart that been stuck in traffic
And someone interminably unchanging red light
You've beckoned me off down a side street
And I followed you into the night[Hook]
You're weary and you wise like Athena
Like Artemis, you're wild and you're free
You're carrying yourself like you're Hera
But quietly you'll always be little Aphrodite to me[Verse 2]
Now I remember on the first night I met you
How could I ever forget?
You were trading my drinks for across-the-bar winks
Like some rumour that I haven't heard yet
When I stumble onto you outside
I said I was sorry but that was kind of a lie
I've been waiting for you
And I knew that you knew
You still laughed, you still acted surprised[Bridge]
And it's lamely ridiculous for me to be said that I'm sure
But if I had an apple to give
Then it would be yours
And the others would rage as I turned them away
But you've followed me down to the shore
And for you I'd start a war
So darling, yes, I'm sure
