That thing where you meet someone way out of your league and say, ah just go with it, even though you know you'll feel like the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event in the morning...
METEOR
V1
You burst into the room
Like a frigate's crew
Rocking my quiet saloon
V2
I stopped fast in my tracks
Like a silent lamb
Sensing a wolf’s attack
V3
Words my trusty defence
Didn’t dare expect
Your warmth upon my neck
PRE-CH1
Tonight I'll devour the oyster
In the morning I'll be an empty shell
Tonight happy as an elevator
In the morning broken in the stairwell
CH
So tomorrow you’ll be gone
Because you'll still be
The meteor, the meteor
So tomorrow I'd love prefer
To be the bird that's unconcerned shaken not stirred
But yet again I'll probably be
The dinosaur, the dinosaur
V4
Your hair perfumed my night
Balmy bunches of a life
That didn’t quite seem like mine
PRE-CH2
Tonight we pop bottle top stars
In the morning rattling in the garbage
Tonight kissing happy as a beer bubble
In the morning just a damp puddle
