Just A Silhouette

A low melody pulls them all in
Bodies swayin', but it can't win
I'm in the corner, barely in the scene
My warm drink's lost its summer sheen
Searchin' for a single familiar face
In this packed—out, empty space

Lights dip low, and for a second, I see
I could almost swear it's you in front of me

Just a silhouette on the wall, that's all
A turn of the light, 'fore the evenin' falls
My heart does a flip, a jump, and a dive
Then the form is gone, a temporary high
Just a silhouette, a sweet illusion
A trick of my heart's own confusion

A sound that echoes your old tune
Gone a moment far too soon
A touch on my arm, I catch my breath
It's just a stranger, nothing left

Just a silhouette on the wall, that's all
A turn of the light, 'fore the evenin' falls
My heart does a flip, a jump, and a dive
Then the form is gone, a temporary high
Just a silhouette, a sweet illusion
A trick of my heart's own confusion

So many faces here to know
My mind's on replay from a late—night show

(Just a shape...)
(Fadin' out now...)
('Til next time...)
