Circle of Light

Three hundred and sixty-five days ago in this same place
Mad that it's like, a year ago to the day, but anyway
Don't know how much of it you remember
We were between that left speaker and the smoking area
Had our own little zone like
This little circle of light, I think Joey called it
Anyway we took that picture
We've all got our sunnies on, you know the one, like, outside
It's already daylight and we're holding cans of hooch
'Cause of that private joke from that one time
All smiles, no hindsight
Yeah, that's the one, yeah, yeah, that night
Anyway, I just met this girl, she's beautiful, man
And she was here last year as well
So we're properly getting on, what you having to drink, where you from
And I go back and show her the picture we took last year
She starts looking at me, eyes wide, all weird
And she grabs the screen and like pinches it, you know, to zoom in?
But she goes past us, and into the background
I'm moving closer now, all frowns tryna make it out
And just as I go to ask what she's trying to show me, I see it
I look up our eyes meet and we laugh in disbelief
'Cause there she is

Just right there behind us
Yeah man, it's crazy how things work out

You know what, it just feels nice
Can't believe you were just there in the background all this time
It's proper mad
I wonder how many other people meet
That are in each other's photographs?
Kinda scared I'll lose you now
What if I blink and you disappear again into the crowd?
I fire off a sideways glance
Just to check I didn't say that last bit out loud

If we get split up, I'll meet you back here in a year
Between the left speaker and the smoking area where we are now
Yeah, right here
Secretly hoping we don't have to wait that long
Your eyes light up and you jump to your feet
Telling everyone how much you love this song
Grab my hand, hold it, quick, this way, come on
We head back inside and lights sparkle behind
Your hand swims the distance between us, you and I
We lock eyes again with the circle of light
And everyone's incandescent and bright
It's gonna be a good night, you know?
Just move to the music
Is that them over there? Yeah

And if we get split up, I'll meet you back here in a year
Between the left speaker and the smoking area where we are now
Yeah, right here
And the lights sparkle behind us
Your hand swims the distance between us
I'm looking forward to this whole week
Can't believe you were just there in the background all this time
Yeah man, it's blown my mind
Hoping we don't have to wait as long again
