In dark corners and bars and ball rooms
Boys get childish and grow up too soon
I sit and stare at the Calgary girls
Pretty hair and their mummy's pearls
Till the fear wells up and hits me
10 letters to a comfortable history
I use to have it all
Now my head falls hard and alone
Onto a motel pillow
And I know there's a script that I could rehearse
And there a lines I could make them work
But I don't want them, I want you,
And it's not like there's a space that I need to fill
Or like I have anytime we can kill
But I don't need this, I need you
And this is the exact thing that I always do
We use to lie right here and speak
We were fucking great between these sheets
That she bought to replace,
The old ones she left when she needed her own space
And I took the hand me downs
And I flipped the covers inside out
And I'll pretend that I'm different now
And the first time we made love
It was dark and we were drunk
In someone else's
Someone else's passed out bathroom
And you turned your back to me
And I said "if this is the first of many
Then turn back around so I can fucking kiss you"
And I know there's a script that I could rehearse
And there a lines I could make them work
But I don't want them, I want you,
And its not like there's a space that I need to fill
Or like I have anytime we could kill
But I don't need this, I need you
And this is the exact thing that I always do
If you see me again
Holding up some dive bars end
With a whisky sat far too naturally
Between my leg
Will you saunter over smokely and
Tell me about your family
And I will tell you you were right
When you said I'd end up lonely
And I will tell you that my life
Didn't crack up to what id like would have been
And I will stand up to say something
Fall straight back in my seat
And you will check your watch
And say its probably time for you to leave
And I will stand up to say something but
Fall straight back in my seat
And you will check your watch
And say its probably time for you to leave
And you will offer me a ride
Only so its so fucking cold outside
You were always far too kind
And I know there's a script that I could rehearse
And there a lines I could make them work
But I don't want them, I want you,
And its not like there's a space that I need to fill
Or like I have anytime we could kill
But I don't need this, fucking need you
And this is the exact thing that I always do
