You smiled at me, I knew something was up
It was quicksilver hard to explain
You quoted some verse to me to show that you sparkled
I saw neurons go flash in my brain

It took quite a while
To figure out your style
Talking to you on the phone
It seems funny now
You can be close somehow
To someone that you don't really know
Yeah

What would it take to get back in your life?
I hate that I'm losing a friend
I tried making you laugh
I tried making you cry
Is this how our story will end?

We had a few drinks
Never touched, only looked
We shared pictures, yours were better than mine
But there was a moment
We knew we were hooked
It was only a matter of time

But when the passion came
We broke the porcelain
Secrets fell soft in the night
I smell your skin and hair
In the dawn, you disappeared
And you never even wrote me a line
Yeah

What would it take to get back in your life?
I hate that I'm losing a friend
I tried making you laugh
I tried making you cry
Is this how our story will end?
Yeah, is this how our love's gonna end?

Oh, what would it take to get back in your life?
It's deafening silence again
You see, the truth to be told
Is often served cold
Is this how our story will end?
Oh, I hate that I'm losing a friend
Yeah
Come on, Ronnie
Oh, what would it take?
What would it take?
I must have said sorry, sorry a thousand times, yeah
Yeah, am I, am I trash on your floor?
Since you showed me the door
And I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting for you to write me just one little line
One little line, yeah
Hey, you vanished in the city's haze
Yeah, you fading out like crazy
And never, never, never left no goodbye
