LYRICS:
And it starts
Sometime around midnight
Or at least that's when
You lose yourself
For a minute or two
As you stand
Under the bar lights
And the band plays some song
About forgetting yourself for a while
And the piano's this melancholy sound check
To her smile
And that white dress she's wearing
You haven't seen her
For a while
But you know
That she's watching
She's laughing, she's turning
She's holding her tonic like a crux
The room suddenly spinning
She walks up and asks how you are
So you can smell her perfume
You can see her lying naked in your arms
And so there's a change
In your emotions
And all of these memories come rushing
Like feral waves to your mind
Of the curl of your bodies
Like two perfect circles entwined
And you feel hopeless, and homeless
And lost in the haze
Of the wine
And she leaves
With someone you don't know
But she makes sure you saw her
She looks right at you and bolts
As she walks out the door
Your blood boiling
Your stomach in ropes
And when your friends say what is it
You look like you've seen a ghost
And you walk
Under the streetlights
And you're too drunk to notice
That everyone is staring at you
And you so care what you look like
The world is falling
Around you
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
And you know that she'll break you in two

If goosebumps and white knuckles gripping a steering wheel while crying had a song... This is the song. This is the soulful song.

In the blink of an eye, fifteen years go by and you're still broken.
-
Man this is why I'm so grateful for YouTube comments. The amount of people that can feel this song somehow makes it more beautiful. Stay strong peeps.
-
this song has been giving me chills for 13 years.
-
I wish I had more people in my life who listened to music like this
-
If there's someone you think of when you hear this, just know that you're not alone.
-
When you hear a song that melts away 40 years of life and takes you back to those precious four or five years in your mid-20s...to your first true love....you know you've found not a good song, not a great song, not an epic song.....but a song that is LEGENDARY.
-
a song for any man who has truly loved and lost.
-
Really missing driving these days. There’s nothing better than being on your lonesome with the volume cranked up and belting out this beautie. Let’s hope we’re over this nightmare soon
-
Almost every man can relate to these lyrics. A woman you love slipping out of your hands and you are utterly powerless to prevent it. You can rage and cry but knowing none if it will make a difference. 'you just have to see her, you just have to see her'...like it's the only thing that will keep you breathing. Amen to that.
-
I come back to this song so often. I'm not even experiencing heartbreak and haven't in years but this song is just SO good it makes me long for that FEELING again
-
THE WAY THIS SONG BUILDS IS SIMPLY BREATHTAKING YOU JUST HAVE TO SEE HER YOU JUST HAVE TO SEE HER YOU JUST HAVE TO SEE HER
-
We've all had, or will have at least one obsessive, toxic relationship in our lifetime that everyone but you knows is just no good. Quitting this person can be like kicking a drug addiction; paranoia, anxiety, depression, even sweats, chills and nausea. And like a drug, even though it's poisoning you can make you feel more alive than anything else in the world.
-
The lyrics are visceral. This is a trauma that every human can relate to. It rips your heart out and you can FEEL the lyrics. Also it's refreshing to see the comment section full of men being open about the song.
-
The progression of feeling in this song is unmatched to any other.
-
This captures the angst of heartbreak so eloquently
-
Honestly one of the best songs I've ever heard in my whole life. I remember hearing for the first time and just losing my breath. It's beautiful.
-
The Power that we give to other people. Its crazy.
-
Never met any one who enjoyed badass music like this. Glad there’s a comment section
-
If this song doesn't make you cry, you've been very fortunate in life.
