Lyrics
At eight o'clock we said goodbye
Parting ways at 8 a.m.
That's when I left her house for mine
Leaving her place to head home
She said that she'd be staying in
She plans to stay in
Well, she had to be at work by nine
She needs to be at work by 9 a.m.
So I get home and have a bath
Returning home and taking a bath
And left an hour or two pass
Passing an hour or two
Drifting in front of my TV
Watching TV aimlessly
When a film comes on that she wants to see
A movie she wants to watch starts

It's Monday morning 5. 19
It's 5:19 on Monday morning
And I'm still wondering where she's been
The singer wonders where she is
Cause every time I try to call
Unable to reach her by phone
I just get her machine
Getting her voicemail repeatedly
And now it's almost 6 a.m.
Time passes, it's almost 6 a.m.
And I don't want to try again
The singer hesitates to call again
Cause if she's still not back
If she's still absent, it might be the end
And then this must be the end
The possibility of their relationship ending
At first I guess she's gone to Cannes
Imagining she went to Cannes
Her silver pack of cigarettes
Items she might have taken along
A pint of milk, food for the cat
Noteworthy things she might need
But it's midnight now and she's still not back
It's midnight, and she's still absent

-Cause if she's still not back
Reiterating the absence and concern
Well, heaven knows what then
Speculation on the consequences
Is this the end
Questioning if it's the relationship's end
At half past two I picture her
Imagining her in someone else's car
In the back of someone else's car
Visualizing a scene of potential infidelity
He runs his fingers through her hair
A man touching her inappropriately
Oh, you shouldn't left him touch you there
The singer's distress at the thought
** repeat
[Verse not provided]
*** repeat
