You may need to think it's you he's frowning through
But with a second check you'll see it's just not true
It's more the wear and tear on those plans
he thinks you made for him
To try to get through to you
And the clocks number to twelve in the western world
And they triple in memory like long nights to a dancehall girl
But they don't bring back the racing car sweater
with its chromium swirl
And isn't that how he loved you
And you, who are you when the lights go down
The dark appeals to you like a rollercoaster countdown
As you attempt to treat it more and more like a children's round
Thinking maybe you haven't found it yet
For wasn't it you who said if it isn't got it's only wanted
And once it's found or bought it's only wanted more
I couldn't say I'd ever touched that shore
For sure I'd talk about it if I ever had my face in it
And so you need to think it's you I'm frowning through
But with a second check you'll see it's just not true
It's more the wear and tear on those plans
I think you made for me
To try to get through to you
Now me I never believed when they told me love was sweet
I like to take mine neat and then I like to think of you
The way you like to think of him and what he's going through
And whether it was really you I was trying to get down to
But with a second check you'll see it's just not true
It's more the wear and tear on those plans
he thinks you made for him
To try to get through to you
And the clocks number to twelve in the western world
And they triple in memory like long nights to a dancehall girl
But they don't bring back the racing car sweater
with its chromium swirl
And isn't that how he loved you
And you, who are you when the lights go down
The dark appeals to you like a rollercoaster countdown
