East Side Restaurant - Caitlyn Smith

We were wine stains on white sheets

Stumbling through the city streets

And I wasn’t afraid, to be honest

It was smoke rings on the streetlights

First time we were getting high

And the sky was falling down around us

I thought I knew myself before I met you

I didn’t want to let you in, but I let you

And now you’re on the other side of town

It might as well be the moon

I knew that it wouldn’t last

Tripping out in taxicabs

It all moved away too fast

Now you’re off and moving on

And I’m wondering what went wrong

In an east side restaurant

The sound of silverware on dinner plates

'O sole mio' plays beneath the hum of conversation

I’m staring at an empty chair, and I still see you everywhere

And go to places that we’d go just so I can feel you

I knew that it wouldn’t last

Tripping out in taxicabs

It all moved away too fast

Now you’re off and moving on

And I’m wondering what went wrong

In an east side restaurant

I raise up my empty glass

And cheers whatever we had

I wish I could drink you back

Now you’re off and moving on

And I’m wondering what went wrong

In an east side restaurant
