lyrics

I feel the cold, I feel the cold
against my sunburnt skin
'cos it's always cold inside of this house anyway
I think it's time
I think it's time
I think it's time to leave again

And by the time I left your bedroom the sky was black
the cold on my skin said you can't go back
not going back home
not going back home
not going back home

Keep your voice low, keep your voice low
and take off those noisy shoes
it's about time I did something that's worth writing
inciting a memory
to wash away
to wash away some future blues

And by the time I left your bedroom the sky was black
the cold on my skin said you can't go back
not going back home
not going back home
not going back home

And I'll wait a thousand years
You fine? You've faked a thousand tears
to make me notice, to make me see
to make you notice, please notice me

Cos I am an optimist
we've fought since the first night that we kissed
but that doesn't matter, the trick up my sleeve
you hate that you love me and you're too strong to leave

So I'll ride through a thousand nights
across chilly streets on my broken bike
bring my battered body to your back screen door
collapse in a heap into your bedroom floor

And I'll never I'll never I'll never leave
don't make me don't make me don't make me please
I will be yours and you will be mine
and when we're together I know we'll be fine

I'll be the singer and you'll be the song
I'll be the writer and you won't be wrong
I'll be the jailbird and you'll bail me out
you'll be who all of my songs are about

I'll be the captain and you'll be the ship
through whatever weather I know we won't tip
I'll be the doctor to keep you in good health
I'll be the devil and you'll be yourself.
