lyrics
i would like to do just one proper thing in my life
if it was us, well, that'd be alright
but you twist and you turn
you're hard to pin down, i'm slow to learn
i keep getting lost, things vanish in the mist
i never thought that i would live in a place like this
the pipes run putrid, your breath stinks
i can't tell my parents, i don't know what they'd think
you've been to china, you've been to france
you walk around the flat in just your underpants
you're not trying to hurt me, you're just being yourself
i am scared of your freedom, you're ashamed of your wealth
i don't know why i came here, i can't see how this ends
i get lonely in crowded rooms, i'm not sure if i like our friends
i am trying to wake you, don't wanna go out alone
you are lost in dreaming like the spires of your new home
and you mumble "look, babe, it'll be all right
if you want we can just stay in tonight
i would rather hang out with you anyway"
you always know what i need you to say
as if i'm glass and you see right through
why should i need anything from you?
you roll over to make room on the bed
i don't know how you got in my head
and i don't know how i ended up in this town
but if we hold it together, i will try not to let you down
i would like to do just one proper thing in my life
if it was us, well, that'd be all right
but it's hard because
i think i might not be as simple as i thought i was
