It's dark but I don't want to find the light   And I can't close my eyes   The only one you really trust   Is the one who always lets you down      It's not my place to give advice   When all I've done was make mistakes   I didn't mean to tell you everything   And anyway, well it's too late in the day      Stray talk all alone   Swinging out of view   I'm flailing round the room   And I'm staring out at you      Don't burn your hand when you turn out the light   Your cheek is turning red   You always wake me with your warmth   And your arms wrapped around my neck      The broken silence lasts for seconds   And normal service is resumed   I didn't mean to tell you anything   And anyhow, well it's too soon for that now      Stray talk all alone   Swinging out of view   Well I'm flailing round the room   And I'm staring out at you      You sat there looking like a prize   So I went back on what I'd said   And now we're both left out to dry   Put out to sea and left to drift      We're drifting out to sea   We're drifting out to sea   You said the leaves are like that day   And now they're dead and charred      Stray talk all alone   Swinging out of view   Well I'm flailing round the room   And I'm staring out at you   Staring out at you
