My New Dress Up Shoes
You told me in the beer garden that I had changed your life
I laughed at my new dress up shoes and thought
"He's a lucky guy"
And it wasn't as hard as I thought that it would
Be to see your arms around his boney, boney body
And in your mother's hatchback with the windows rolled down
My dear, you were a fucking joy to be around
But if I'm gonna make anything of myself
I don't wanna do it alone
Sitting behind a grey desk
Staring at a whitewashed wall
Tasting last night's amyl every time I talk
And my brain cracks, my head slips back
My hearts skips beats for a minute
And you're softly, softly telling me to just breathe in
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
And if this isn't a body for true love
Then I'll slowly cut it down
To spend a week with a clear head and a free chest
Is becoming an impossible dream now
And I've been dancing past your
Skinny bodies at the door of a million parties
And I burst out shivering under the night
Sky and I wish that I was warm in bed with you
Wish I was warm with you
I wish I was allowed with you
And if we go away then we'll just come back
And last winter everything was just so perfect
Making castles in your bungalow and holding you from your parents
And no matter how it ended, I'm so glad it happened
You are an amazing person and you'll do amazing things
You'll do amazing things, but I won't come back
If this isn't a body for true love
Then I'll slowly cut it down
To spend a week with a clear head and a free chest
Is becoming an impossible dream now
And I've been dancing past your
Skinny body at the door of the party
I burst out shivering under the night sky
Wishing I was warm in bed with you
Wish I was warm with you
I wish I was allowed with you
And if we go away then we'll just come back and
And just come back and
Then we'll just come back and
And we'll just come back and
Then we'll just come back and
I laughed at my new dress up shoes and thought
"He's a lucky guy"
And it wasn't as hard as I thought that it would
Be to see your arms around his boney, boney body
And in your mother's hatchback with the windows rolled down
My dear, you were a fucking joy to be around
But if I'm gonna make anything of myself
I don't wanna do it alone
Sitting behind a grey desk
Staring at a whitewashed wall
Tasting last night's amyl every time I talk
And my brain cracks, my head slips back
My hearts skips beats for a minute
And you're softly, softly telling me to just breathe in
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
And if this isn't a body for true love
Then I'll slowly cut it down
To spend a week with a clear head and a free chest
Is becoming an impossible dream now
And I've been dancing past your
Skinny bodies at the door of a million parties
And I burst out shivering under the night
Sky and I wish that I was warm in bed with you
Wish I was warm with you

And if we go away then we'll just come back
And last winter everything was just so perfect

And no matter how it ended, I'm so glad it happened
You are an amazing person and you'll do amazing things
You'll do amazing things, but I won't come back
If this isn't a body for true love
Then I'll slowly cut it down
To spend a week with a clear head and a free chest
Is becoming an impossible dream now
And I've been dancing past your
Skinny body at the door of the party
I burst out shivering under the night sky
Wishing I was warm in bed with you
Wish I was warm with you
I wish I was allowed with you
And if we go away then we'll just come back and
And just come back and
Then we'll just come back and
And we'll just come back and
Then we'll just come back and
