Karaoke Night Lyrics

Caught a bus through a rainstorm

Watching all the puddles form

In Koreatown

We used to come here on Tuesdays

For ten dollar boulevardiers

It was karaoke night

Where we would sing our song

Hold every note so long

As if the moment it ends

The best part of the night is gone

And you will never have another one

Now I see the wallpaper peeling

I can tell that they've repainted the ceilings

I don't recognize anyone working behind the bar

No one here ever heard us sing that chorus

No one knows how we used to send the whole crowd reeling

Couldn't stop us for anything

On karaoke night

Funny how emotion comes

When you're up in front of everyone

And you swear, you swear it's the real thing

Take an 80s hit your mother knows

And you see how deep the meaning goes

And sing with a little bit of heart

Each time it was you and me

I was following the lyric screen

Repeating, repeating, believing

If we sing all the right words so well

That nothing could ever change

That we would never grow apart

This time I almost missed it

'Cause it's no longer listed

But someone just started singing

Our karaoke song

And I could sing along

Hold every note so long

But when the moment concludes I've got nothing to lose

I could settle my tab and walk away if I choose

Even if the feeling is right

Now I know it's only karaoke night
