That's When It Hit Me Songtext
von Ezra Furman

That′s when it hit me and shattered my collarbone
I was in love with the world and the way you shoved it down my throat
I was bleeding just a little from the cut near my eyebrow
I want to tell you that I love you, but I just couldn't figure out how, -ow, -ow, -ow, oh
That′s when it hit me, that's when it hit me right now

My mouth fell open at the sight of a violent beauty
I was drooling sweet liquid on the carpet when you cut right through me
My eyes were black when you threw me against the wooden door
I was head over heels, I thought I couldn't take anymore, oh, oh-oh, but
That′s when it hit me, that′s when it hit me once more


And I was bleeding in the bed sheets when we said good night
And I was touching a black and yellow bruise on my thigh
I was running on empty, the big bad sun started to rise
Ah-hah, yeah, baby
Well, that's when it hit me, that′s when it hit me, aye, aye

I think it's clear, oh, darling, that it hurts to split open
My deep, deep sleep at 2:30 in the morning
But you broke into my heart and you gave me no warning
You′re a heart attack and I'm a dead man walking

When you went to sleep, I stayed up starin′ at the ceiling
And I want the real thing with no sugar coating
And no fine print, just a real wild feeling
And I'm hittin' the floor, I′m rockin′ and I'm reelin′ for you
For you, ah-hah-hah

That's when it hit me, that′s when it hit me straight and through
That's when it hit me, oh, it hit me straight and through

Ah-ooh
Oh, man
Fine, fine, fine
