lyrics

I'm saying look
Ten years it took
For my tongue to crawl out

Trying to prevent
An accident
For words to fall out

Never wanted to make you like me less
I shared a bedroom with my shame
Don't you notice that girl you never trust yourself
And you laugh like you're landing a plane

We'll bring a big piece of card home
And test all of the biros on the kitchen floor
Drawing future cities
Saying, what's that bit mean
Explain it all

I heard you had a good June
The winter too
How did you manage that
Me and my windscreen wipers
We're having a party on the M5 to Fleetwood Mac

I forgot the size of my life
Rain falling down a well
Speak and believe yourself
Alien to all my insides
Bruises are bound to swell
Speak and believe yourself

This book is my favourite book
You said that last week
Yeah I know I did
You know I just like how all the characters
Help themselves to a beer from the fridge

Sun shines, sun shines
I walk to post a letter
Blue lips, blue lips
It's summer swimming weather
