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'll 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 to never knowing anything at all to never knowing anything at all to never knowing anything at all
