Hey Melbourne I'm in Madrid How's the weather? Coz like the line on your call I really don't think you're holding together When you're asking If I hold you responsible for something more Babe you bet I do You never hear it, no you never want to hear it at all Well hey hey baby how's your lover? The one in the north The one in the south And the one you want to keep undercover Well I've been chasing planes I chase them home to you And what are you chasing? I've been chasing planes I chase them round to you So what are chasing And like the fire in the field Like the wound that won't heal Like the war that won't yield And the way that I feel It's had nothing to do with you And like the truth telling lie And the ways that we hide Like this world will collide And the way that I've tried It's had nothing to do with you It's had nothing to do with you So tell me now How is your reckless soul Coz when it's pushing people round don't you really think you're lost control And I've prayed for your safety In the dark I've been waiting your call Knowing that it's not that you hate me but you always want something more And like the fire in the field Like the wound that won't heal Like the war that won't yield And the way that I feel It's had nothing to do with you And like the truth telling lie And the ways that we hide Like this world will collide And the way that I've tried It's had nothing to do with you It's had nothing to do with you It's had nothing to do with you It's had nothing to do with you It's had nothing to do with you

We could be perfect as hell We could be perfect as angels Who send their heaven down in flames We could be perfectly close We could be perfect as strangers With no one else to blame And I know you swore it Yeah I know you swore it Take whats yours and I'll take mine Coz I just don't have the time To reiterate the same old story So take what's yours and I'll take mine Coz I just don't have the time To live with all your faded glory We could be perfect as hell We could be perfect as angels Who send their heaven down in flames We could be perfectly close We could be perfect as strangers With no one else to blame And I know you swore it Babe I know you swore it Take whats yours and I'll take mine Coz I just don't have the time To reiterate the same old story So take what's yours and I'll take mine Coz I just don't have the time To live with all your faded glory So how's it feel now When we are seven years In the past now And you're swearing at her Through the phone now While I'm next to you And I laugh now Coz I thought that'd never be you (never be you) How's it feel now When we're eleven years In the past now And you're swearing at me Through the phone now While she's next to you Does she laugh now Coz she thought that'd never be you at all Never been you at all, at all At all, at all So take whats yours and I'll take mine Coz I just don't have the time To reiterate the same old story So take what's yours and I'll take mine Coz I just don't have the time To live with all your faded glory

Well I see that she drinks your drink now And she wears all your clothes I heard that she thinks your thoughts now Does she pass them up as hers You better run while you can The writings all over the wall You better quit while you can Coz you never see it at all You never see it, see it at all, at all You never see it, at all, at all. Hey! Well I heard that she's got some ink now Tell me where have I seen it before Took the words right out of your mouth While she's kicking you out the door You better run while you can The writings all over the wall You better quit while you can But you never see this at all You never see it, see it at all, at all You never see it, see it at all, at all You never see it, see it at all, at all You never see it, see it at all, at all Now she's given you two weeks notice Before kicking you out the door Now she's giving you two weeks notice Guess she can't use you anymore Now she's giving you two weeks notice Boy that writing was on the wall Don't give me your two weeks notice When you're crying on my floor Aye Aye Aye! Coz you should have seen it, seen it at all, at all You should have seen it, seen it at all, at all You should have seen it, seen it at all, at all You should have seen it, seen it at all, at all

You moved away And I don't know what for I got you screaming At the back of my door You moved away And I won't see you again But I feel the weight of you My bitterest friend You moved away And I can't gauge your heart You drive your hate for me From stop to start You'll stab my back And then you'll twist my arm With false compassion And your false alarms So tell me now How you've done it all so much better than me When you're older now And blinded cruel by what you'll never be So tell me now How you've done it all so much better than me When you're older now And blinded cruel by what you'll never be You moved away, Coz I don't do what I'm told Or appreciate the way you're Fucking Cold That expectation Under your control Forgot it all I let myself unfold So tell me now How you've done it all so much better than me When you're older now And blinded cruel by what you'll never be So tell me now How you've done it all so much better than me When you're older now And blinded cruel by what you'll never be (Bridge) So tell me now How you've done it all so much better than me When you're older now And blinded cruel by what you'll never be So tell me now How you've done it all so much better than me When you're older now And blinded cruel by what you'll never be
