Story Behind The Song

SOMETIMES YOU SEE SOMEONE THAT JUST TEARS YOU UP YOU CAN'T EVEN THINK STRAIGHT I'VE BEEN THERE HAVE YOU?

Lyrics

[Intro]
(Verse 1)
The neon lights are buzzing like a hive in my brain
I walked in for the music, but I'm leaving with the strain
I was only looking, just a ghost in the crowd
But then he caught my eye and the room got loud
He smiled at me, gave a slow, steady wink
I felt the floor tilt, I felt my spirit sink
I waved a frantic hand, yeah, I needed the brink
I said, "Bartender, can you serve me up a drink?"
(Verse 2)
He slid it down the wood with a steady, calm grace
I'm cataloging every sharp line on his face
He was so good-looking, and he had no ring
I'm a tangle of nerves, I'm not good at these things
I opened my mouth, wanted to say something cool
But I just froze up like a kid after school
My body's tingling from my head to my toes
How I'm still standing, man, heaven only knows.
(Chorus)
Oh, he's got me acting like I never act
Tracing the shadows, caught in the crack
I guess it's true, how opposites attract
Not sure how I'm still standing here intact
Yeah, he's damn good-looking and that's a fact.
(Bridge)
My body's shaking and my knees are weak
The air's getting thin and I can't even speak
The ice in my glass is the only sound I hear
I'm playing out the movie, the vision is clear
Should I walk away? Should I stay for the night?
Everything's blurry in this low-budget light.
(Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break)
(Chorus)
2:02
Yeah, he's got me acting like I never act
Walking the line, losing the track
I guess it's true, how opposites attract
Not sure how I'm still standing here intact
Yeah, he's damn good-looking and that's a fact.My knees are weak...
I can't even speak...
Just one more wink...
Bartender, one more drink.
Yeah, that's a fact.
