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
