How We Met

Late the other night
Our friends already leaving
I saw you step outside
It was cold out there
In the autumn air

I'd hate for you to think
I was keeping tracking all evening
But I trawled the laundry sink
For one last beer
And your voice came clear

As you shared the cigarette
I heard you telling Steven
A tale called 'How We Met'
All those years ago
It's one I know by heart

My favorite part
Is the way we had to smile hello
For the static on the stereo
Just then
