It's the pounding in the heart whenever you are gone without any trace   It's the breaking of the waves that were about to really carry someplace   It's a major minor detail   It's a solitary sequel to never knowing anything at all      It's the ticking of the clock when you wake up alone at seven AM   It's the thought of getting used to something so right and then just throw it away   It's a major minor detail   On a misty morning L train   And the fear of having to go back      You'll hear the piano sound   And know something turned around      It's the circus I bring on whenever I reach out to touch you my dear   It's the laws of our attraction and the fact that it's all going somewhere   It's a major minor detail   Like erasing that old ghost train   So one day I can be with you      You'll hear the piano sound   And know someone turned around      It's the morning after everything has dawned and I'm about to be late   The sun here on my left and that piano on the right is my date   It's a major minor detail   It's a soiltary sequel to never knowing anything at all
