little aphrodite

Lyrics

i remember the first night i met you, you brushed past my arm at the bar, and suddenly it was like somebody somewhere, scraped their keys down the side of my heart, heart that been stuck in traffic, and someone interminably unchanging red light, you've beckoned me off down a side street, and i followed you into the night, you're weary and you wise like athena, like artemis, you're wild and you're free, you're carrying yourself like you're hera, but quietly you'll always be little aphrodite to me, now i remember on the first night i met you, how could i ever forget?, you were trading my drinks for across-the-bar winks, like some rumour that i haven't heard yet, when i stumble onto you outside, i said i was sorry but that was kind of a lie, i've been waiting for you, and i knew that you knew, you still laughed, you still acted surprised, and it's lamely ridiculous for me to be said that i'm sure, but if i had an apple to give, then it would be yours, and the others would rage as i turned them away, but you've followed me down to the shore, and for you i'd start a war, so darling, yes, i'm sure, cause you're weary and you wise like athena, like artemis, you're wild and you're free, you're carrying yourself like you're hera, but quietly you'll always be little aphrodite to me
