It was the night shift and it was 2 am

I hit the dive bar, saw her standing in

A crowd of loudmouths who want another drink

From the bottom shelf I watch her eyes sink

Now shes cleaning glass, smashed from the fight

Kicking out the trash talkers who started it

I go up and ask if I can help at all

She just smiles and says I'll have to wait til 4

Mind over matters a mystery

I wanna help her with anything

Combat compatable insticts

And I'll keep searching through everything

Theres a girl, with the coast on her mind

She's looking down, at those little white lines

And I can tell, she's gunna pay me no mind

And she can tell, that I'll be sitting here wasted, wasting time

Everyones clearing out, and we started to talk, she made it clear to me she wouldnt be here long

Theres a madness to her method, but I loved every minute

Then I went out with her for her last cigarette we shared the sunrise then she headed west

Theres a madness to her method, it came so quick then it ended

Mind over matters a mystery, she's sending signals right through me

Combat compatable instincts, and I'll keep searching through anything

Theres a girl with the coast on her mind

Shes looking down at those little white lines

And I can tell she's gunna leave me behind

And she can tell that I'm lonely

We were two strangers dancing in a bar

Knowing we wouldnt make it far

It was one night I'd trade it all for that one night

Now I'm sitting here wasted, wasting time
