Album: Trust the Wire
I made a mess
As you could have guessed
You know when I’m nervous
I get stupidly impressed
And worst of all
They watched you fall
You curse then when
They don’t look back at you
You’re a bit withdrawn
And I said
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
You’re a bit withdrawn
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
And if it’s just a test
Then I won’t confess
You know I got purpose
Cos I’m suitably dressed
And if I came across
Just a little lost
It hurt me that
You think that much of me
I’m a bit withdrawn
You drain from, you drain from
You’re hiding out
How could you sense that from me?
You don’t have to ask
That’s what’s great about that
And I’m not quite as brave as I seem
I’m just too tired to talk
So I nod along
I’m just a bit withdrawn
(Not quite, not quite with you)
I just nod along
(Not quite, not quite with you)
And once again
I’ll just leave instead
You know that I’m certain
Cos I’m virtually obsessed
So I faked a smile
It was just in time
At worst I’m not much use to anyone
And at best I’m fine
The flame’s gone, the flame’s gone
Inside you now
Burnin' up your insides
Building up the next fire
You drain from, you drain from
You’re hiding out
How could you sense that from me?
You don’t have to ask
That’s what’s great about that
And I’m not quite as brave as I seem
I’m just too tired to talk
So I nod along
I’m just a bit withdrawn
(Not quite, not quite with you)
I just nod along
(Not quite, not quite with you)
Ooh ooh ooh-oo-oo-ooh
Ooh ooh ooh-oo-oo-ooh
Ooh ooh ooh-oo-oo-ooh
(Not quite, not quite with you)
Ooh ooh ooh-oo-oo-ooh
(Not quite, not quite with you)
