You Walked in the Room

[Verse 1]
Here we are
Floor to ceiling
One, two, three, four walls
And an empty feeling
Even when the bodies are everywhere
Even when they talk so loud you have to shout
Loneliness is staring me in the face
Trying to get out of being in has left me inside-out

[Pre-Chorus]
And if it weren't for you, I'm sure that I'd be
A pessimistic man
(In search and lonely)
Wondering what to do and why to do it

[Chorus 1]
You walked in the room
You walked in the room

[Verse 2]
Lousy jokes
And out-and-out lying
'Bout somebody else's bad luck, bad taste, or bad timing
Somebody always tries to get a laugh
From losers in this system of give and take
(Can't decide what this party's all about)
Is it a celebration or just some kind of personal wake?

[Pre-Chorus]
And if it weren't for you, I'm sure that I'd be
A pessimistic man
(In search and lonely)
Wondering what to do and why to do it

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 2]
You walked in the room
(And people seem to get a retrospective look in their eyes)
You walked in the room
(Like if they had only known, they would have prepared a disguise)
You walked in the room
(Ain't it funny how your presence always comments on our secret life?)
You walked in the room

[Outro]
You walked in the room
You walked in the room
You walked in the room
You walked in the room
You walked in the room
You walked in the room
You walked in the room
