There I was again tonight, forcing laughter, faking smiles...
She sat in a corner of the room, all alone. People sat around her, greeting each other, and wishing a happy holiday. The room was filled to the brim, and she could just feel the excitement resonating around her. But she couldn't bring herself to accept it.
Same old tired lonely place...
She had been here before. Every year, in fact. It was the same music, same food, same people, every single year. It had been fun...until the incident happened.
Walls of insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancy...
She hadn't been the same after that. Everything had changed. She had put up walls to keep everyone out.
Vanished when I saw your face...
She looked up. Across the room, he did the same. They met eyes. Her walls came tumbling down.
And it was enchanting to meet you...
They gazed into each other's eyes, as if under a trance.
Your eyes whispered, '"Have we met?"
His eyes seemed to speak to her. Had they met before? He seemed oddly familiar to her. She seemed oddly familiar to him.
Across the room your silhoutte starts to make its way to me...
He started to get up, and walk towards her. She lost his face in the sea of people, but she could still spot his silhoutte on the ground.
The playful conversation starts, counter all your quick remarks like passing notes in secrecy...
They stared. They smiled. And at last, they began to speak. She hadn't had a normal conversation like this in ages.
And it was enchanting to meet you. All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you...
He had broken down her walls. He had put her under a trance. She was back to her old self again.
This night is sparkling, don't you let it go. I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home...
The walked together. Everything seemed to fade away except the sparkling Christmas lights.
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew, I was enchanted to meet you...
In a split second, she realized who it was. It was him. He was the one changed her. She turned away. Her walls went back up. But all she could think about was him.
