lyrics

When we walked beneath the stars did the romance of that night
Crush your lungs and your bones like it did mine
Caught in the orange glow of a street light
Your face belied no signs

I did my best to keep you laughing all the time
As we struggled to stumble along in a straight line
I wonder what thoughts were crawling through your mind
I'd like to remove your forehead so I could see inside

A permanent smile creased your face
Was it because you were pleased you were sharing my space
Or were you drowning in the deep end of a drunken daze

Waves are lapping against my shins
Do I dare to paddle because I know when I'm in
The current will drag me out to sea
And you'll be the stone that's tied to me

Your bag was hooked in the crook of your elbow
As you marvelled at the way my drunken words flowed
I don't listen to what I say there's only one thought I know:
'Are you above love cos I reckon I'm below'

One foot in front of the other like we've always done
Seemed so hard after a night having fun
They say the atmosphere weighs about a tonne
Well I can feel every pound between here and the sun

Your phone heavy with texts you dropped
With hair in your eyes like grass upon a clifftop
You scrambled round until you eventually picked it up

Waves are lapping against my shins
Do I dare to paddle because I know when I'm in
The current will drag me out to sea
And you'll be the stone that's tied to me
