You're one in a million
A million I've seen a million times before
I'm sure your name's not really Marie
And I'm confident that isn't your living room floor
Says here you like ponies
And I'm impressed by your grasp of political ideas
But there's only so many ways a girl can hide her ankles behind her ears
I turned the page to the centrefold spread and I had to hide my surprise
In my school and then serving me drinks were the last time I saw those eyes
This girl knows my name and she lies about hers
And she lived on my street and once helped with a verse
It was better off that way
She looks better off this way

And now I'm wondering what shapes Emily makes when she's the only one around
Or the silhouette cut by Sarah when she's out of town
I want to know what sound Sophie slips out when she's the happiest she's ever been
Let's talk about that
Tell me about that and it's who we'll be

I went to the party
We talked about shit we'd never mentioned before
I was thinking it probably should have stayed that way
As two drunk-ass girls chased me across the floor
We almost got the balance right between taking our clothes off and talking all night
One minute adults discussing sexual aids
The next I was pitying where that rabbit had strayed
And then Kim showed us all her black and white breasts in photos, I didn't know quite what to say
So she drank herself to the sofa and puked in her hair and all over the place
And then the beds came out and the dice threw down
And the pants came off and we passed them around
It was better off that way
It felt better off that way

And now I'm wondering what shapes Emily makes when she's the only one around
Or the silhouette cut by Sarah when she's out of town
I want to know what sound Sophie slips out when she's the happiest she's ever been
Let's talk about that
Tell me about that and it's who we'll be

Another line crossed and I don't want to talk about that
And I don't want to talk about me
Broken way more trust and I don't want to talk about that
And I don't want to talk about me

And then we'll all grow up and do the sensible thing, but then, none of us'll complain
'Cause the team'll change and we'll get fucked up and we'll do it all over again
And the want will grow and the dream may feed
And the pace may slow, but I'll still believe
It was better off that way
It felt better off that way

And now I'm wondering what shapes Emily makes when she's the only one around
Or the silhouette cut by Sarah when she's out of town
I want to know what sound Sophie slips out when she's the happiest she's ever been
Let's talk about that
Tell me about that
Let's talk about that and it's who we'll be

And I don't want to talk about me
