Lyrics
That Week In Montreal
Written by: Nathan Bishop
Somethin' bout you I can't ignore/
I swear I seen your face before/
Search my memory for traces/
Scan familiar faces/
But I just can't unlock the door/
No, wait, I think you changed your hair/
Now I can see it's you that's hidin' under there/
You lost the glasses, changed your style/
I see your crimson lips now curl into a smile/
I stammer out how have you been and smile so I prevent you lookin' in/
you light yourself a cigarette, just like you did the night it happened/
As you exhale you purse your lips/
Your mouth now forms a perfect kiss/
I flood with memories of bliss/
Suddenly nothin' else exists but you/
Nothin' at all...
Chorus
But that week in Montreal/
When we kissed on rue Ste-Paul/
Girl this world is way too small/
I wonder how much you recall/
Bout that week in Montreal/
Seven nights on rue Ste-Paul/
Girl this world is way too small/
I wonder how much you recall/
Bout that week in Montreal
Verse 2
You say that you've been doin' well/
You're managin' that old hotel/
Dark as ebony this place is as each word displaces/
You've moved on an' I can tell/
I try to conjure things to say/
An' rack my brain for words to make you stay/
Afraid to speak and then regret/
Don't wanna cause you any dismay/
So I pretend like I don't mind a bit/
Give both your cheeks that phony kiss/
My heart sinks an' I'm feelin' sick/
Lost you without you knowin' it/
lost you - lost it all
Chorus
About that week back in Montreal ooohh ooohhh ...
