It Evaporates

(album: The Wild, The Innocent, The TV Shuffle - 2012)

Where does it go
When love dries up?
Forms into clouds
And rains on someone else
It drips off the fingertips
And soaks into the clothes
Clogs up the gutters
And ruins everyone's shoes

And then
It drains into the street
Then it sits there in the heat
Then

It evaporates
Ooh ooh ooh
It evaporates
Ooh ooh ooh

What can you do
When a girl doesn't like you?
You can steal a lock of her hair
And try your luck at voodoo
You can sigh, you can pick the petals off of a flower
And when that doesn't work
You can just cry in the shower

And the tears
Circle round the drain
They'll float through the pipelines
And then drift out to the sea
Then they'll get whipped up by a breeze

And evaporate
Ooh ooh ooh
It evaporates
Ooh ooh ooh
It evaporates
Ooh ooh ooh
It evaporates
Ooh ooh ooh
