lyrics
Jenny tapped along to the song playing on the radio in her car
The lyrics were somewhat trite, as the best ones often are -
Descriptions of the stars, something about your touch,
Enough to stir the soul a little, not too much
The singer sang of things Jenny'd heard a thousand times
But something in his voice, something in the rhymes
Sent Jenny's thoughts drifting off into the night
Which fell a little deeper with each passing traffic light
The song wound down as Jenny pulled into park
Killed the engine, closed the door, heard the lock click in the dark
Still half in a daze she walked slowly up the path
Heard voices in the house, heard a woman laugh
Glasses clinked inside, something going down
The sort of do that Jenny missed on her new side of town
Briefly she saw herself among them, shooting breeze
Then remembered last month she'd given Eric back her keys
Before sunset it's me and you
Before midnight it's me and you
Before sunrise it's me and you
Do you wonder? I do
Later, after time, she caught a glimpse of him
Thought Eric was looking well - healthy, even trim
She'd met him at a party, his natural wit and charm
Had made her fall for him - like this new girl on his arm
She couldn't stay, Jenny knew just how strange it looked
She told herself something about her car getting booked
As she turned the engine on and made her moves to go
She heard that same song through the living room window
Before sunset it's me and you
Before midnight it's me and you
Before sunrise it's me and you
Do you wonder? I do
When you're driving, just a little gone
The heart it takes you just where it wants
At red you idle, at green you go
Where you'll end up you only half know
Jenny had stood there long enough for the dark to fully fall
Telling herself it was just one of those things after all
Telling herself it had been her choice just as much as his
Telling herself that heartbreak just is what it is
Before sunset it's me and you
Before midnight it's me and you
Before sunrise it's me and you
Do you wonder?
Before sunset it's me and you
Before midnight it's me and you
Before sunrise it's me and you
Do you wonder? You know I do
