lyrics

Here in the back bedroom where the lights don't reach
You swirled the elixir in dusky peach
Your kitty heels on the unmade bed
Lips apart as if to teach
Trapped in your charisma and ankle socks
You shift the tide and turn back the clocks
Danielle leaves to smoke in the garden
Whilst you turn the loosest lock

Take me to the feeling I've lost so far
six minutes by foot and five by car
In the lamplight or in the dark it's all the same to me
You fit the night so perfectly
I slip my hands onto your skin
The crumbling feeling will always win so just get it together for now

The frost is settling on the windows and now
The light blue air is mixing with the street lights
Like sparks burning out in the deepest Tango orange
Your sucking a cough lozenge

And your arms are on the pillow aswell
I'll go put the kettle on it's too early to tell
And your blonde hair on the pillow as well
It's too early to tell if I've proper upset Danielle

Here in the house our secrets are numb
Don't tell all your friends to come
I wanna see you for what you are
A fireworks display in a private park
Here in the home of the stolen hearts
Don't you wanna break my arm?
Oh, Danielle was angry but what can I do?
I want her less than I want you
And I want me less than I want her
Nothing new will go nowhere
A-line dress and kitty heels
Spitting like a catherine wheel
There in the dark there's a secret held
By a sore and painful meld
Chewing gum bubbles and creeping doubt
You're not the one I'm worried about...
