strikey

I feel rude putting 2 posts up in a row for feedback but this is something so so different. My brother's written the music to it and it sounds damned awesome if you ask me - anyhow, this is about a girl, plain and simple. Very long but very effective when put to music, I think.

I can't make my mind up whether you were just a fling
Or something ever so much more than that
You caught it with a sting
Take a breath and take you in and take you there and then
Summer school and summer love
I smile at you again

Instrumental

Laying on the grass with only you to think about
It was wet but you were warm and I
Could never catch you out
Just the memory of staring in your eyes and you the same
God knows why we liked to do it
It was just our little game

And everything was just a little game
Sitting making small talk in the rain
Did you ever think it would cause you pain, girl,
did I ever cause you pain?

Let it last
Let it last now
Let it last
Let it last now
Call me up
After midnight
Say you love
Say you love me

Campello and Watford always were so far away
Far much more than you and Sheffield girl
And further every day
We were living in a false hope but it still made things seem right
Just a quick talk I can't afford
But I'll keep it up all night

It'll keep me up all night
I'll be talking to myself
With my iPod trying to drown out
This foreign faded hell

Ten pound and a lifetime for pretending we could be
Baby you were just like me
You just wanted to be free
But we didn't have the guts to do a thing about the love
We just sat and planned it out
Until we both had had enough

And I daren't do anything
And I daren't be anyone
You're alone and I'm alone girl
Seems it's not just you that's gone

Still remember 10th September
Rain was falling, You and I
Standing outside On the pavement
You killed it I let it die
Either way we Rode a taxi
To the station Didn't talk
I got out You didn't flicker
Didn't care to Watch me walk
Take your memories Take your phonecalls
Late at night The I love yous
Take your heartache How you missed me
Take your drugs, your ****s, Your booze
Take the trouble That you caused me
Take the nights I Wished I'd die
You weren't worth a Single second
You weren't worth a single lie
Take the poems, take the songs,
and all the times you sang to me
Take the days sat On the grass
When you kissed me So I can't breathe
**** your wry smiles And your goodbyes
And the I'll come up to meets

You'll take me back when you can see how much I've changed since you left me
And when you know I'm moving close you'll hold my hand, unburn my notes
We'll take a long walk round your town, the one I've never been around
And be content with who we are
We'll know who we are
Who were we then
We'll know who we are
Or we can pretend
