Fascination
The Beaches Lyrics

I took the Metro to the station where I met you
I traveled by subway to the station where I encountered you.

Hope to accidentally run into you again
I wish to meet you by chance once more.

And all those people in those crowded spaces
All of those individuals in those densely packed areas.

With their sleepy empty faces
Having worn-out, expressionless visages.

I felt like an alien
I felt like a foreigner in that situation.

I saw you standing like a statue in the corner
I observed you standing still in the corner.

And you were all alone, built like a Michelangelo
You were all by yourself, seemingly crafted by Michelangelo.

We hopped onto the train without a ticket
We boarded the train without a ticket.

Headed somewhere, didn't matter if we had no other place to go
Going somewhere, even if we don't know where we'll end up.

It's just my fascination
It's merely my enchantment of you.

Don't need a destination (destination)
Not requiring to go any specific place.

I never felt so beautiful (so beautiful)
I have never felt so gorgeous.

We'll drink some whiskey hid behind the bar
We'll sneak some alcohol from behind the bar.

Watch film noir inside the catacombs
Watch film noir movies in hidden tunnels beneath a city.

Because there's a cataphile I know
Because there's someone I know who enjoys exploring underground areas.

We'll shave each other's hair
We'll cut each other's hair.

'Cause you got lice and I wanted mine to look like yours
Because you have head lice, and I want my hair to resemble yours.

All buzzed and shorn
With our hair trimmed short.

And it's messed up
And it's strange or absurd.

Na na na na na, na na na na na
Nonsensical sounds meant to be catchy.

Na na na na na na
Additional nonsensical sounds meant to be catchy.

I take your kiss just like a souvenir
I save your kiss as a keepsake.

The memories might end up hazy
The memories that we shared might become unclear or indistinct.

But I'll try not to forget your face
Yet, I will attempt not to lose your image from my mind.

And when you've grown up and get married
And when you mature and marry someone else.

And you have a daughter
And have a girl as offspring.

I hope you consider naming her after me
I desire you to contemplate naming her after me.
