It's dark but I don't want to find the light,
|
And I can't close my eyes,
|
The only one you really trust,
|
Is the one who always lets you down,
|
It's not my place to give advice,
|
When all I've done was make mistakes,
|
I didn't mean to tell you everything,
|
And anyway, well it's too late in the day
|
|
Stray talk all alone,
|
Swinging out of view,
|
I'm flailing round the room,
|
And I'm staring out at you
|
|
Don't burn your hand when you turn out the light,
|
Your cheek is turning red,
|
You always wake me with your warmth,
|
And your arms wrapped around my neck,
|
The broken silence lasts for seconds,
|
And normal service is resumed,
|
I didn't mean to tell you anything,
|
And anyhow, well it's too soon for that now
|
|
Stray talk all alone,
|
Swinging out of view,
|
Well I'm flailing round the room,
|
And I'm staring out at you
|
|
You sat there looking like a prize,
|
So I went back on what I'd said,
|
And now we're both left out to dry,
|
Put out to sea and left to drift,
|
|
We're drifting out to sea, we're drifting out to see
|
You said the leaves are like that day,
|
And now they're dead and charred
|
|
Stray talk all alone,
|
Swinging in and out of view,
|
Well I'm flailing round the room,
|
And I'm staring out at you,
|
