i see you hovering there in that long red dress
a little bit disheveled but still lookin’ the best
suckin’ on a cigarette and pullin’ at your whiskey drink
givin me the look of “what the fuck were you thinkin'”?

ooohhh — these are astonishing days
ooohhh — what am i gonna say?

talkin’ things out until too late at night
sun comin’ up again and blurring my sight
come on now, you got to give it to me one more time
stories i got, but sometimes words are so hard to find

ooohhh — these are astonishing days
ooohhh — what am i gonna say?

why we gotta fight like this, it used to be a dance
you came to me, offering a tense romance
that look in your eye, your hand on my shoulder
i ain’t gonna lie, you make me much bolder

now you’re sitting there again waiting in that long red dress
my glass completely empty and your hair a mess
“ok, you win” i say, giving up on all of my pride
“this was your idea, i’m just along for the ride”

ooohhh — these are astonishing days
ooohhh — what am i gonna say?
