James Vincent McMorrow
The Starlight Lounge
[Verse 1]
You get up to leave the room, I watch you from the bed
You said if I don't make it back, just know it's 'cause I'm dead
Laughing as I hear the floorboards creaking on the stairs
I swam out deep to meet you, I was so underprepared

[Chorus]
How do we never see it coming?
The game was up before I knew
How do we never see it coming?
Really all I saw was you

[Verse 2]
I don't know what we're doing, but I'm terrified to ask
For fear that I might ruin it, I wanna make it last
The twin bed by the white ledge, hope you'll stay another night
I swam out deep to meet you, just got carriеd by the tide

[Chorus]
How do we nеver see it coming?
The game was up before I knew
How do we never see it coming?
Really all I saw was you
How do we never see it coming?
The game was up before I knew
How do we never see it coming?
Really all I saw was you
[Bridge]
We go to the Starlight Lounge 'cause you have never been
Both of us were spinning 'round, is something happening?
And I know most about you from the hours in that room
We spent beneath the candelabra, but it always ends too soon

[Chorus]
How do we never see it coming?
The game was up before I knew
How do we never see it coming?
Really all I saw was you
How do we never see it coming?
The game was up before I knew
How do we never see it coming?
Really all I saw was you
