lyrics

The Usual Things.


If you had come around to find me in
hoping to equalise, for me to blink.
You couldn't criticise or ever understand me,
when open and terrified of the uncertainty.
Now, I'm reckoning on an endless lucky streak,
to save my ship from breaking up at sea.
On those jagged islands, rocks and coral rings, the usual things.
And you wanted everything.
Now you want to give it all away,
Give it all back to me.

I knew these back roads well enough, we used to haunt them.
Swam at the bend in the river once a day, we never talked there.
Just went about the usual things in our usual way,
a beautiful, beautiful hour with nothing to say.
Now, she’s beckoning from the endless dusty street
And all I have is emptied at her feet,
All those diamonds, gems, stone necklaces and rings, the usual things.
And you wanted everything.
Now you want to give it all away
Give it all back to me.

Reading your letters, taking no calls.
I have always got something to do with my time,
even when that’s nothing at all.

And you wanted everything.
Now you want to give it all away,
Give it all back to me.
And you want to hold back the sea,
Now you want to drink it all in.
Underneath the waves, underneath the skin
of the usual things.
