lyrics

I am made to show my immaturity,
holding the door closed with your free hand,
I’m forced to run before I can walk, before I read the pamphlet,
school socks on gravel, holding my boots between stinking fingers.

Your sisters stop us playing Board Games.
It’s for the best I’m so much more than sure, sure I’m sure.
Sure I saw a saw point between us.
He must have to be the wettest guy I have ever known.
Above all else that is what I have been shown.

And in the East this night is falling;
couldn’t hold the light back no matter how hard it tried.
This day will change the next and so on tumbling after.
So I am at the mercy of what you decide.

Your sisters stopped us playing Board Games.
It’s for the best I’m so much more than sure, sure I’m sure.
Sure I saw a saw point between us.
He must have to be the wettest guy I have ever known.
Above all else that is what I have been shown.

I feel such a fool.
Myself I’ll cower into.
What exactly did you expect me to do?

Believed in the things that you asked for,
but it seems to me you just thought of yourself.
Even though I gave you my blessing before hand,
it’s still not like you to touch somebody else.

You touched somebody else.

And it seems to me that there isn’t the slightest
shred of remorse that I ought to have seen.
Am I such a chore, such a sad obligation?
Don’t tell me that you love me, like you know what that means.

‘Cos you measure out your love in lost grams and false ounces.
