[VERSE 1 – CLOSE, CONVERSATIONAL MALE LEAD; WARM SYNTH BASS ENTERS] Your shoes were in the hallway For the better part of June You said we'd sort the boxes We'd get around to it soon There was a cup beside the sink With a crack across the blue You said you liked it better I suppose that sounded like you [PRE-CHORUS – RISING SYNTH CHORDS, LIGHT STRINGS, FALSETTO HARMONY] Then you called me from a taxi With that careful sort of voice Said, don't make this difficult As if I'd had a choice [CHORUS – FULL EURO-DISCO BEAT, BRIGHT SYNTHS, HIGH FALSETTO LEAD, LAYERED MALE HARMONIES] What happened?
