Minor Detail

It's the pounding in the heart whenever you are gone without any trace
It's the breaking of the waves that were about to really carry someplace 
It's a major minor detail 
It's a solitary sequel to never knowing anything at all 

It's the ticking of the clock when you wake up alone at seven AM 
It's the thought of getting used to something so right and then just throw 
it away 
It's a major minor detail 
On a misty morning L train 
And the fear of having to go back 

You hear the piano sound 
And know something turned around 

It's the circus I bring on whenever I reach out to touch you my dear 
It's the laws of our attraction and the fact that it's all going somewhere 
It's a major minor detail 
Like erasing that old ghost trail 
So one day I can be with you 

You'll hear the piano sound 
And know someone turned around 

It's the morning after everything has dawned and I'm about to be late 
The sun here on my left and that piano on the right is my date 
It's a major minor detail 
It's a solitary sequel to never knowing anything at all
