Six Pound Forty

From day one it was like a movie
Eyes met across the pool and you could see right through me
Oh
Woah
It was too hot and you offered me a bottle of water
I said yes
I'd prefer to have a Coke and vodka though
And you asked me
Girl where are you from
And what is your name
I said I'm from Devon
My name's Ellie and
I asked you the same
Every single day for the rest of the trip
We weren't seen without the other
We were joined at the hip
People could not believe that we had only just met
And when the time came to say so long to my best friend
You said
This is not goodbye
I will see you again
And I will swim there if I have to
Well how would I cope without my other half
I can't remember a time before I knew that laugh
Well I was working late in August
One lonely afternoon
Just thinking 'bout the time
When you said you'd see me soon
With five minutes 'til the end of my shift
A familiar voice I heard and my head I lifted
And I said
What the hell are you doing here
You said
I drove all this way
I'm sorry to shock you
I just really wanted to see you my dear
For months and months
Back and forth we went
From your house to mine
You spent New Year here
And my friends all thought you were mighty fine
While I was beginning to have my doubts
On the surface all was good
We were living the dream
We were the Gavin and Stacey of 2016
Torn apart by a bridge that cost us £6.40
But each time it felt like a longer trip
By March I was starting to ask if it was worth it
'Cause you look different in the Welsh rain than the sun
And it's starting to feel a bit serious
Let's have some fun
I never wanted to say goodbye
But you've got your own life to lead
And so have I
From day one it was like a movie
And we let this story unfold
It was Oscar worthy
We played our part
But now
Let the credits roll
