Gruff Rhys - If We Were Words (We Would Rhyme) lyrics

Wandering hearts Ticking together But always apart Open the door and the future restarts But I'd never claim you were mine Just if we were words we would rhyme Caution then regret A cowardly dog barking empty threats Backtracking Dancing As patterns are set But I'd never claim you were mine Just if we were words we would rhyme Picked and processed within twenty seven days Delivery free Send me round the globe and back again to you a flower Wheels come off and hobble over to the next replacement of choice But you were the sentence that gave me a voice Now I cry As we by the by And I will always wonder How it would be if we never had met Life would be easier But dull I suspect You'd ask me to keep it discreet So I'll sing a song of deceit And I'd never claim you were mine Just if we were words We would rhyme If we were words We would rhyme
