lyrics

Creeping out the parliament with poems about love
you're making the transition like a champion
Moving to the country just to see what happens/
see if we can meet another wave of shelf-stock friends

If I could be bold
I'd have a job hosting the millionaires who come here for the sun
We lived on that beach for a couple of weeks,
now we tread cautiously in case we're still drifting/sleeping

Playing cards like Polaroids, comparing memories
you're making accusations like you're one of them -
Buried under snowdrifts or dressed in dinner suits and ties
we sell ourselves another pack of lies

If I had more faith, I'd be afraid that we were wasting all this precious time you saved
If we stood just here for a couple of days, we'd be talking cheap, I'd be wondering where your old heart lives now you're drifting
