i caught that smile as you turned away.
it wasn't hard to identify.
a friendly face in an angry sea.
i caught you laughing at the world, with me.

welcome to the club.
we hesitated i could wait no more.
i asked you what it is you're looking for.
you said i couldn't tell you
it would take too long.
we went for coffee and the world felt warm.
welcome to the club.
all that time i looked at you.
all that time ago.
welcome to the club.
i sat and listened
i was in a trance.
you spoke so clearly
it was elegance.
and when we rose to leave
the smokey room, you reassured me i was not alone.
welcome to the club.
i caught that smile as you turned away.
and for a moment it was clear as day.
came in the
entrance hall,
i wonder if you ever came here at all.
welcome to the club.
