Merging Into You

When you walked into the room

I knew there was nothing I could do

When you walked into the room

I thought "Here comes trouble"

You saw the cover of my book

And you thought that I was worth a look

I was seeking for a chance

To start a conversation

We were getting on, but there were girls in the room

Too much to contemplate, but I was clearly consumed

You had a role to play, but the casting was wrong

You look quite amused

I was merging into you

And it seemed like the natural thing to do

I was younger, younger than I knew

You invited me into your rented room

Well, we swayed right through the room

I knew there was nothing I could do

There are choices that we make

That have their own momentum

In a dark, Victorian room

The summer hill streetlights were creeping through

There are moments that we face

That hold their own magnetism

We were getting on, but there were girls in the room

Too much to contemplate, but I was clearly consumed

You had a role to play, but the casting was wrong

You look quite amused

I was merging into you

And it seemed like the natural thing to do

I was younger, younger than I knew

You invited me into your rented room

I could recognise your distinctive stride from a quarter-mile

I'm telling you

I could recognise your distinctive smile at a quarter-mile

I was merging into you

And it seemed like the natural thing to do

I was younger, younger than I knew

You invited me into your rented room
