lyrics

See you sitting on a bar stool
See you dancing in the middle of a crowded room.
Talking about the stranger things you've seen,
As I watch your astral frame on the cinema screen.
But I know it's not your fault.
It's something in the way you move.
And it's not the end, my perfect celluloid friend,
I'm coming back to take you home.

And I didn't think this through,
Didn't take the time to think about you.
And I don't even know your name, just took
Everything I could.

Walking away with no smile on your face, you know
You've been treated wrong.
Driving around, going place to place, should have
Known it all along.
And so it goes [x4]
So it goes.

About time you went away,
You've said everything you have to say.
And now I leave this sacred place, to re-
Turn another day.

Standing in line before the closing time,
To get a chance to see you dance;
Climbing the stairs with all my hopes and my cares,
With no hope for small romance.
And so it goes...
