And he said it so un-self-consciously that
Never would it occur to me that
He'd reveal himself and I'd offer a blue

From here, the exact same melody is played: Verse 2 is played exactly like Verse 1, and
the Chorus 2 is played exactly like Chorus 1. Here are the lyrics for reference:
(Verse 2)
I was drunk on the night we met, I might try to forget, except I know
So were you
And I don't really care, 'cause we went on from there
And I tried not to hide what's true
(Chorus 2)
The other night, I had this dream
You told me what you want from me
I'll give it to you instantly
And I woke up without a clue
Finish on:
