Our Girl (Smile Because You Loved Her)
Since you asked, I'd commit
A flame in your name
Arson, arson!
This idiot holding lighters
Up to a gas store
Just a little bit gives way
To the weight of the world
You ran away, leaving daisies, leaving today
And I feel crazed etching your name
Holding visions no dream could ever erase
I'll go to a public place and scream
Under the half-light, I squint and I see
Your eyes
In the back seat on a dark night
Cos the words you left behind
Still slither in sleep, a warmth I recognise
Remember this place?
Well, store-fronts change
You only love your girl two seconds too late
Three seconds too late
The hanger-ons still linger around
Your place
They ask me when you'll return, they
Always ask the same
Remember this place?
Well, store-fronts change
You only love your home two seconds too late
Three seconds too late
The hanger-ons still linger around your place
They ask me when you'll return
I say you're on a break
I say you're on a break
Our girl
She is short but sharp
My sister's age
Someone I love
Her dark curls flow beneath the bone
She loves to prove us wrong
Where is this girl I miss?
She sang with the voice of a soul
Who's lived a thousand lives, lived a thousand lives
I'd follow her to the end of the earth
That's how far I'd go, to be by her side
The price of all my lives
These tiles are moving
Oh the times are a-changing
Make the men say what they mean
See how fast they'd lose it
For frames, they do not stay the same
Rot with age or varnished in
By new owners who know not of their sins
I feel a rip in the choruses
A voice that speaks from within
It's shy, it's love, it's all that's been
Looming in the colours
A dime a day won't feed you
A grain a day won't see you through
But the love between my mind and you
The love that will soon seep through
In drips and drabs
In motions that
Tinge the worst of our trials
In drips and drabs
In motions that
Tinge the worst of our trials
In drips and drabs
In motions that
Tinge the worst of our trials
In drips and drabs
In motions that
Tinge the worst of our trials
Don't shed a tear, she was just here
Smile because you had
Known and cared for her so
Smile cos you had the chance
Don't shed a tear, she was just here
Smile because you had
Loved and cared for her so
Smile cos you had the chance
Cos you had the chance
A flame in your name
Arson, arson!
This idiot holding lighters
Up to a gas store
Just a little bit gives way
To the weight of the world
You ran away, leaving daisies, leaving today
And I feel crazed etching your name
Holding visions no dream could ever erase
I'll go to a public place and scream
Under the half-light, I squint and I see
Your eyes
In the back seat on a dark night
Cos the words you left behind
Still slither in sleep, a warmth I recognise
Remember this place?
Well, store-fronts change
You only love your girl two seconds too late
Three seconds too late
The hanger-ons still linger around
Your place
They ask me when you'll return, they
Always ask the same
Remember this place?
Well, store-fronts change
You only love your home two seconds too late
Three seconds too late
The hanger-ons still linger around your place

I say you're on a break

Tinge the worst of our trials
Don't shed a tear, she was just here
Smile because you had
Known and cared for her so
Smile cos you had the chance
Don't shed a tear, she was just here
Smile because you had
Loved and cared for her so
Smile cos you had the chance
Cos you had the chance
