And Then The Chorus Starts

This part of the song is where the music stops
You hear the voice of a broken man
He talks about how it all went wrong
Remembers how it all began
A chance encounter in the park
A smile, a look, a meaning glance
The moment when they felt a spark
Beginnings of a doomed romance

After a little interlude
The man starts talking once again
He thinks about the bad old days
When towers tumbled in the rain
An argument across the phone
Connections broken in the night
The times they tried to get back home
The times they tried to make it right

And then the chorus starts
The one you can't forget
The one that sears your heart
With longing and regret
The part that sucks you in
And burns into your brain
But when the chorus stops
You still hear music playing

After the solo drifts away
You hear his voice as things go still
He wonders when he'll feel the same
He doesn't think he ever will
The days go on in shades of grey
As silently he carries on
A secret he can never say
That something special now is gone

And then the chorus starts
The one you can't forget
The one that sears your heart
With longing and regret
The part that sucks you in
And burns into your brain
The chorus doesn't stop
The chorus keeps on playing
And then the chorus starts
The one you can't forget
The one that sears your heart
With longing and regret
The part that sucks you in
And burns into your brain
The chorus doesn't stop
The chorus keeps on playing
