[Intro]A place in the cityA chair and a bedI cover up all the mirrors, I can't see myself yetI wear smoke like a wedding veilMake a meal I won't eatStep out into the street, alone in a seaIt comes over meOh, I'm missing youYeah, I'm missing youAnd all the things we used to doMdma in the back garden, blow our pupils upWe kissed for hours straight, well, baby, what was that?I remember saying then[Refrão]This is the best cigarette of my lifeWell, I want you just like thatIndio haze, we're in a sandstorm, and it knocks me outI didn't know then, but you'd never be enough forSince l was seventeen, I gave you everythingNow, we wake from a dream, well, baby, what was that?[Próxima Parte]What was that?Baby, what was that?Do you know you're still with meWhen I'm out with my friends?I stare at the painted faces that talk current affairsYou had to know this was happeningYou weren't feeling my heatWhen I'm in the blue light, down at Baby's All RightI face realityI tried (I tried) to let (to let)Whatever has to pass through me, pass throughBut this is staying a while, I knowIt might not let me goMdma in the back garden, blow our pupils upWe kissed for hours straight, well, baby, what was that?I remember saying then[Refrão] (repetir)[Próxima Parte]What was that?'Cause I want you just like that(When I'm in the blue light, I can make it alright)What was that?(When I'm in the blue light, I can make it alright)Baby, what was that?
