Maybe I Was Boring
[00:20.52] He never had cool stories
[00:21.68] He doesn't make your heart beat
[00:23.80] Used to love his mystery
[00:25.39] But now he's just exhausting
[00:27.79] Another day spent just laying in his room
[00:31.50] The stench of incense
[00:33.36] And some undelivered food
[00:43.46] And she thought
[00:45.86] "What if he thinks I'm the one?
[00:47.99] And I'll be forced to rot away
[00:50.11] With him and his obsessions, with trivial things
[00:55.69] Like the amount of fucking love hearts I finish a text message with"
[01:08.71] And when you hold his hands
[01:10.30] It doesn't feel like flying
[01:12.96] And when you take his breath away
[01:14.55] He might as well be dying
[01:16.96] And you're dying to breathe
[01:18.55] You're trapped in his cage
[01:22.00] And it's shrinking
[01:24.13] And she thought
[01:26.52] "What if he just never leaves?
[01:29.98] Or if he doesn't get the message?
[01:31.04] And he doesn't hear my please?"
[01:32.89] So she just started screaming
[01:36.35] "Why can't he just bore me to death?"
[01:41.13] (Why can't he just bore me to death?)
[01:45.64] "Oh, why can't he just bore me to death?"
[01:50.43] (Why can't he just bore me to death?)
[01:54.94] "Oh, why can't he just bore me to death?"
[01:58.93] (Why can't he just bore me to death?)
[02:03.71] "Oh, why can't he just bore me to death?"
[02:28.16] We all move on
[02:35.08] Some faster than others
[02:39.07] We all know
[02:47.30] We all sacrifice
[02:53.68] In a bath late in the evening, building up sorrow
[03:13.87] But I can't say that I
[03:17.32] Wasted my time
[03:20.24] 'Cause I'm built by you
[03:26.61] And I can't say that I
[03:30.33] Am glad it is over
[03:33.25] 'Cause that wouldn't be true
[03:37.77] So, thank you
[03:44.41] Oh, thank you
[04:00.35] We both remember that day in the summer
[04:06.72] When you were sat on me
[04:11.24] And we cried, oh, how we cried
[04:17.61] In that moment, we've never been so happy
[04:26.11] But I can't say that I
[04:29.30] Wasted my time
[04:32.75] 'Cause I'm built by you
[04:38.60] And I can't say that I
[04:42.58] Am glad it is over
[04:45.78] 'Cause that wouldn't be true
[04:50.03] So, thank you
[04:56.94] Oh, thank you
[05:02.79] All I can say is "thank you"
[05:25.89] But I can't say that I
[05:29.88] Won't miss you
[05:43.43] One, two, three, four
[06:05.22] Bouncer greets us at the door
[06:10.80] He can tell we've been here before, so he lets us pass
[06:16.11] And we climb up 15 flights of stairs
[06:20.63] And find that spot in the corner, just over there
[06:30.99] It's only 6:30, but we're starting to drink
[06:35.50] I'm ordering the usual
[06:38.69] I think I need a change of pace
[06:42.94] London's bursting at the seams
[06:45.33] It's not quite the place I hoped I'd be
[06:55.69] It's white wine in a Wetherspoons
[07:00.21] It's fine dining with cheap perfume
[07:05.25] Its country walks down the motorway
[07:10.08] How many drugs have you done today?
[07:25.24] 'Cause concrete sculptures and broken glass
[07:30.28] It's the lamp posts who guide our paths, because the moon can't get in
[07:36.13] And the clouds hang heavy, blocking out his pursuit
[07:40.11] And booze hangs limply on our rental suits
[07:45.43] 'Cause we're fires, we're burning bright
[07:49.94] Breaking bottles and starting fights
[07:54.72] But the evening has other plans
[07:59.79] Run as they pull up with two more vans
[08:05.63] It's white wine in a Wetherspoons
[08:09.10] It's fine dining with cheap perfume
[08:14.41] Its country walks down the motorway
[08:19.46] How many drugs have you done today?
[08:24.24] But I won't fuss
[08:30.11] I'll let you pass
[08:34.90] No, I won't fuss
[08:40.21] I'll let you pass
[08:43.66] 'Cause it's only white wine in a Wetherspoons
[08:49.80] Fine dining with cheap perfume
[08:55.65] DLR closed due to workers' strikes
[09:00.96] God knows how I'll get home tonight
[09:25.93] I lost the passion that comes with living
[09:31.50] Since I started university
[09:37.61] I took a geography course to learn the datelines
[09:40.80] And maybe use a sextant
[09:43.72] But now I just press facsimiles
[09:49.30] And you're exactly who you wanted to be, that's what you said
[09:55.14] 'Cause you wanna watch TV, and sleep all day, and lay in bed but
[10:01.52] You're forgetting that I've got to go to work and eat my food
[10:06.32] And pay my rent and reproduce and feed those kids
[10:11.11] And maybe use a sextant
[10:14.30] I don't miss you
[10:18.55] I miss the thought of what we were
[10:26.25] This is the part where I shut up and let you infest my brain
[10:32.10] Wrap your arms around my cortex, dig you in, and let you drain
[10:39.00] You'll never get rid of me, oh, I'm like a fucking disease
[10:44.58] I'll make a home in your gut
[10:48.57] 'Cause it's somewhere warm to sleep
[10:57.60] What was your thought when you realised
[11:00.53] You'll never feel naive love again?
[11:03.46] Was it pain or was it sickness?
[11:06.91] Were you proud of who you'd been?
[11:09.57] The shyness waiting for his phone calls
[11:13.02] Replaced by apathy and dating apps
[11:16.47] You held his hands, it felt like flying
[11:19.39] Now he's just another man
[11:22.60] You'd rather he was inside than beside you
[11:27.93] But he's talking marriage and a future
[11:34.03] He's picking a lock he doesn't go into
[11:40.14] Less knife in a wound, he's a suture
[11:46.26] I don't miss you
[11:51.30] I miss the thought of what we were
[11:58.74] This is the part where I shut up and let you infest my brain
[12:05.12] But it's OK, it's a strategy to ensure I remain
[12:12.02] You'll never get rid of me, well I'm like a fucking disease
[12:17.60] I'll make a home in your gut
[12:21.32] 'Cause it's somewhere warm to sleep
[12:24.77] It's OK
[12:30.88] It's OK
[12:50.27] Eat my rent and eat my food
[12:53.19] And eat my dues and eat those kids
[13:00.37] And maybe use a sextant
