You're sorry, you swear that parties rage on without you there.

.....


The party rages on inside our lives
and no one's invited
except you
occasionally me and a few close friends
who just happen to be in the neighbourhood
it's B.Y.O B.Y.O.B it's free
If you know what I mean
Before and on the day that we met I wasn't prepared for you yet
but you had complete mastery
