lyrics

Soak up the sun
Cough up your lungs
Slip of the tongue
Easily done - too highly strung for the small talk

So what if i'm wrong?
We used to have fun
We used to have fun
We used to laugh our heads off at anyone

And right from the start of it
It was more than the sum of the parts of it
Stab in the dark
Wake with a start
Dripping in sweat in the grip of the after effects of a stuttering heart
You pulled it together
I'll pull it apart

I used to be what you wanted
You used to need what I had
We used to be like two satellites in constellation
But lately it's been like two water drops through condensation
I never knew what I had

Don't miss a beat
You're out on the street
Pick up the speed of your feet
Don't pick at them scabs, hold up your head, boy
As you hope to hell
That something will sell
That something will sell
The rent ain't just gonna go and pay for itself

And right from the start of it
You cut through right to the heart of it
Joined at the hip? You don't know the half of it...

I used to be what you wanted...

Never grow out of it
Never go out of your way
Never grow out of it
Never lift a finger, mate
God forbid you ever change

I used to be what you wanted
You used to need what I had
I used to be what you wanted
You used to need it so bad
But how could we know what we wanted?
We never knew what we had
How did we never confront it?
How did we never look back?

We're landlocked
Tongue-tied as we clock watch
You're black jeans
I'm odd socks
