lyrics

You tell me to meet you in the car park
That’s a thing that other people do
Leaning on the bike rack looks courageous
I’m able to shut up. Are you?

I brought a can of TK to look busy
I haven’t got a phone, they’re not a thing yet
It rolled under a car and might be fizzy
I haven’t had the nerve to pull the ring yet

Showing up in clothes you did your sports in
Pointing out some cars you’d like to drive
Telling me your parents should divorce
Except it’s not allowed, til 1995

Someone dropped a grapefruit on the tarmac
You press it with your shoe. Adidas patterns
It makes me feel like telling you a secret
But once upon a time nothing ever happened

Something’s headed uswards we can’t see
Because we always face the wrong way ‘round
You leave a trail of breadcrumbs out for me
And then I always take the long way round
The long way round

I need an invitation to a party
In a place where other people go
To misinterpret someone’s friendly gesture
And have something to say you don’t already know

Someone calls your nickname and I’m rattled
I don’t know which to use, I’ll stick with neither
I say I’m going home because I’m shattered
I’ll never get this right and you won’t either

Something’s headed uswards we can’t see
Because we always face the wrong way ‘round
You leave a trail of breadcrumbs out for me
And then I always take the long way round
The long way round

Thank you for the ankle chain from Argos
That’s a thing that other people do
I’ll wear it til I lose it at the pool
The summer after I’ll lose you
