The world, it curled into a ball Pretended we weren’t here There’s too much it needs to solve It couldn’t start here Where the radiator hates me Waits for cold and then breaks down Would have been an excuse to hold you If you’d happened to be around But coincidence only happens At times you don’t expect I’ll probably only ever see you When I’m drinking and I haven’t slept And you’ll ask how I’ve been And I’ll pause for far too long So you’ll know that I’m lying When I promise nothing’s wrong I mean, I’m bad, but I’ve been worse And all my friends are closer to it So I’ll put my fears into a verse So no-one has to hear it And in the awkward silence I’ll wish I was freezing in my flat When you sit down next to me On the train that we both catch

Dressed in just my T-shirt that you said you liked As you walked down the stairs in the dark last night You thought to yourself: “Why do I do this to myself? Will it always be like this? With more people I won’t miss? I know I can sell myself for a higher price than this” I want to know if you feel anything at all I felt your back against my chest when I was lost with you I felt your back against my chest And I fell I fell for you
3.
I appreciate all of the time That you spent on me, trying to be a little less tongue tied If this sounds wrong, I’m asking out of interest Do you take your mask off at night when you get undressed? Will these feelings have an end? Should we think about an end? Or keep pretending to pretend? ‘cause if you don’t know where I’ve been And I’m so used to me Then I’m not fighting clean I am not where you want me ‘cause I don’t treat me kindly Weighed down by personal history I’m working for a day That I finally forgive me That I finally forgive me But, I learnt to love you less but then I couldn’t seem to stop I learnt to love you less but then I couldn’t seem to stop Well fuck you, I don’t need you, I never loved you anyway Fuck this, I don’t need this, I love you, please stay Fuck you, I don’t need you, I never loved you anyway Fuck this, I don’t need this, I love you, please stay I love you, please stay

Lost in conversation with strangers on the flight As it throws itself towards me I’ll wait so patiently for you to arrive I’ll have my heart painted on my sleeve I’ll become The man you always thought I would be Wasting hours Content with the way you looked at me We slept in separate beds that night And the day died so young You walked around your house for hours I woke, and laid waiting for the day But not for you It’s easy to fall back to your sleep You close your eyes And fall through the sheets, back to your dreams We were lost in conversation
5.
When you were sat with your glass of wine Both hands raised to the sky With the silhouette of Eva Braun From the distant streetlights on the other side of town You waved your arm Traced shapes in the stars Faux-constellations of things you saw That would disappear if you stopped looking any more I try to tell you what I wanted to say Before you sleep or you leave The world could keep you for a long time A long, long time And so could I I met a girl like you today. She had her hair like yours, and she dressed the same I fell in love all over again I would wash her clothes, I would meet her friends She thought it through, said “My stars were true, They said I would meet you today, I’m not ready for my life to change” I try to tell you what I wanted to say Before you sleep or you leave The world could keep you for a long time A long, long time And so will I So will I
6.
I wanted to get hit by your car Want it to take my knees and send me to the stars It never quite happened how I wanted it to Sometimes life is cruel I only wrote you songs so I could tell you everything that I wanted to yell They were all about how much I loved you None of them were true I can’t find any water down this well I made you look with me and we fell Now I can’t find anyone who I prefer to you So I guess you’ll have to do
