lyrics

Well it's four in the morning and I'm
Far from home.
I would not
Ask you to wait up for me,
'Cause I'm quite a state, I'm in a
Fix, I'm low,
It's not some-
Thing I'd want you to see.

It's been here since the autumn have you
Noticed it
At all?
This large unwieldy elephant in the room.
It's made it quite a squeeze to sidle
Past you,
But I will
Pretend whatever you want me to.

And I don't know where you and I would
Go even if we were told that we could leave.
And I don't know if you and I could
Move from the place where we've been stood so still.

I said let's run away, let's take a
Train somewhere,
You said to me,
'Well sure, wouldn't that be fine?'
Okay, you didn't sound so much like
Hemingway;
The general
Tone was 'Great, but you are out of your mind'.

You said you're not the kind of girl to
Lose her mind,
To fall
Madly and illogically into love.
But your sacred practicalities always
Seemed quite strained
Only so
Long before you were forced to give them up.

But I don't know where you and I would
Go even if we were told that we could leave.
And I don't know if you and I could
Move from the place where we've been stood so still.
