lyrics

Are there shock waves from a butterfly’s wings?
Am I sure I didn’t feel a thing?
Were there butterflies in my stomach?
Did I really hear James Carr sing?
Is there never a warning of the upcoming punch?
I wasn't sure I was alive the day before the night I fell in love

I watched the girls around me instead
With my usual lupine intent
Tempered by resignation to defeat
I didn’t bother to hold my breath
Is there never a warning of the upcoming punch?
I’m not sure I was alive the day before the night I fell in love

I had a glass of wine to take the edge off of me
My mind went racing through the streets
I put my mobile on the charger
Did I really hear James Carr sing just for me?
Is there ever a warning of the upcoming punch?
I’m not sure I was alive
The day before the night I fell in love
Shock waves, sing James… no sign that night
