lyrics

I don't remember when we first met
Just Clara screaming in a hazy tent
Said they were leaving and so I went
Didn't think our paths would cross again

Then it was December a few years back
Working the ice rink I noticed that
You and your friends seemed giddy
Turns out you only came to see me

And when you tripped up
Over your sentences
Was when I picked up
Your abandoned defences

Didn't know why I was here
For so long
I couldn't see out of the windscreen
Or the rearview mirror and I
Seem to cry much more than you
But I don't mind because
I feel a little safer
Now this story's getting longer

We were both broken on new years eve
I closed the gates and melted the keys
Easier to listen, never to speak
Until you met me at the library

Then it was phone calls and films as friends
I was reluctant to go there again
Laying in bed at Laura’s
The calm after a storm that raged for years

The bus pulled up
You said you loved me and then you froze
I knew you meant it but
You didn’t want me to know

Oh I feel a little safer
