For an Evening

For an evening
I thought you were the one
It came in pieces
And hit me all at once
On the rooftop of your new apartment
Felt it there when you were walking me home

And when we ran into my friends
I paused as I said your name, I didn't say
What you were to me
There weren't words, but we both knew

Don't go and pack your heart up
Promise me you'll start again
And even better with someone new
Please have no regrets
I wish you all the best and
Know every moment meant something to me too
'Cause I already miss you right beside me while we cross the street
I miss the way you'd talk to strangers with your arm around me
And I even miss the unevenness of the two of us hand in hand
'Cause for an evening there

As I'm leaving
I wonder if you wonder what I mean when
I say that it's not you, no, it's just
Me, myself, and my stupid habit
Of breaking hearts as soon as I have them, oh
Ooh

'Cause when we ran into your friends
You smiled when you said my name
And from your face
They knew I was the one
You wouldn't shut up about

Don't go and pack your heart up
Promise me you'll start again
And even better with someone new
Please have no regrets
I wish you all the best and
Know every moment meant something to me too
'Cause I already miss you right beside me while we cross the street
I miss the way you'd talk to strangers with your arm around me
And I even miss the unevenness of the two of us hand in hand
'Cause for an evening there you were my man

Mmm, mm-mm

'Cause I already miss the way you'd wrap up both my hands in yours
I miss the way you'd say hello when you'd open up the door
And I even miss our uneven kiss and the way I felt for you then
'Cause for an evening there you were my man
For an evening there you were my man
For an evening there you were my man

Mmm
