As the sun was coming back up
And you led me by the hand
Away from where we'd slumped the night before
I peeled my skin away from yours
And left all pretence behind
I brushed your cheek and stumbled through the door
And I, I know you've given half away
But my hand still shakes as you give the rest to me
And why, when we've got everything we want
Do our heartbeats race when we're left together alone?
I would have thought that age would have shown
How responsible we could be
And let us throw away our lustful dancefloor turn
But now faithful is only a little more than
A theoretical running joke
I'm scared losing it has made it even worse
And I, I know you've given half away
But my hand still shakes as you give the rest to me
And why, when we've got everything we want
Do our heartbeats race when we're left together alone?
In the light of day I apologise
You tell me no, we're both to blame
It'd probably be more sincere to say I'm sorry for the lies
But then there'd be no next time for it to be the same
And I, I know you've given half away
But my hand still shakes as you give the rest to me
And why, when we've got everything we want
Do our heartbeats race when we're left together alone?
Why do we do
Everything we shouldn't do
For what's, on paper, clearly nothing
More than other people's suffering
I think we were
Both surprised at how right it was
If I felt bad that he was wondering
It crossed my mind, if that counts for something
As the sun was coming back up
And you led me by the hand
Away from where we'd slumped the night before
