lyrics

Ever since her father died, she said she wouldn't give it up until she was married,
Even when her conscience and her conscience went swimming, she would keep her dignity,
We used to take sleeping pills together and watch Nightmare on Elm Street naked on my best friends living room floor,
And ever since she claimed she tried to die when she was five, continuing that lie has been a reason to stay alive,
So don't call me if all you're gonna do is bring me crashing and burning back through your window,
Just walk me through the notes, let me pass out when I pass out and when I say stop I really, really, really fucking mean it,
We swim about inside each other, we never loved we were just lovers, and I used to steal smack from your brother,
So I write this on the back of my face, in the pub where I live, but they don't know my name,
And if I'm fighting with anyone Jess I'm glad that it's you, because you sing my songs with more passion than I do,
So fuck me and call me your big, grizzly bear, we'll make love in the night and we both won't be there,
But your plane lands at midnight, I'll be home, safe and sound, but as soon as I'm sober I'll come round…
