lyrics

At lost in a social evening
Self-consciousness streaming
As I sat lowly peeling my bouquet

From a table filled with chatter
Of reasons for the weather
I saw the reason I had better stay

And it feels
Like the perfect storm of poor clichés
Happens to have just been blown away
By her risqué features
Excuse me, but there's been a change of plans
I think that I just fell in love again

Then I thought I heard her whisper
What it took to kiss her
Can't you listen ? Just take me away

My glass smashed on the ground
As I walked into the crowd
Flooded and drowned in cheap champagne

Well, I feel
There's a certain something I must say
Even though I still don't know your name
Why don't we both get out of this place
then after a kiss she said, well, if you insist
A goldfish swimming in a plastic bag
Indeed it seems there's been a change of plans
