Lyrics
[verse]
I met her in a smoky room downtown
Where the neon writes a stranger's name
Her voice was low, her laughter had a crown
Nothing in that bar felt quite the same
She poured me soda and asked me for a dance
I said okay, not knowing what I'd find
The band was slow, the moment was a chance
To learn that love can wear a thousand kinds
[chorus]
Cassandra, oh Cassandra
You turned my simple world around
Cassandra, oh Cassandra
I'm still the new kid lost in town
Whoa whoa whoa, Cassandra
[verse]
Her hand was strong when we walked out the door
Her eyes were dark like secrets kept from light
I didn't know the rules of this world's floor
But something in her pulled me through the night
She laughed and said the world is not so plain
That boys are girls and nothing's black and white
I stood there dizzy, dancing in the rain
Of every color hiding out of sight
[chorus]
Cassandra, oh Cassandra
You turned my simple world around
Cassandra, oh Cassandra
I'm still the new kid lost in town
Whoa whoa whoa, Cassandra
[bridge]
I'm not the same boy that I was before
I walked in green and walked out something more
The city taught me more than school could ever do
One single night and I became brand new
[chorus]
Cassandra, oh Cassandra
You turned my simple world around
Cassandra, oh Cassandra
I'm still the new kid lost in town
Whoa whoa whoa, Cassandra
