The Smith Street Band - Calgary Girls lyrics

In dark corners and bars and ball rooms Boys get childish and grow up too soon I sit and stare at the Calgary girls Pretty hair and their mummy's pearls Till the fear wells up and hits me 10 letters to a comfortable history I use to have it all Now my head falls hard and alone Onto a motel pillow And I know there's a script that I could rehearse And there a lines I could make them work But I don't want them, I want you, And it's not like there's a space that I need to fill Or like I have anytime we can k** But I don't need this, I need you And this is the exact thing that I always do We use to lie right here and speak We were f**ing great between these sheets That she bought to replace, The old ones she left when she needed her own space And I took the hand me downs And I flipped the covers inside out And I'll pretend that I'm different now And the first time we made love It was dark and we were drunk In someone else's Someone else's pa**ed out bathroom And you turned your back to me And I said "if this is the first of many Then turn back around so I can f**ing kiss you" And I know there's a script that I could rehearse And there a lines I could make them work But I don't want them, I want you, And its not like there's a space that I need to fill Or like I have anytime we could k** But I don't need this, I need you And this is the exact thing that I always do If you see me again Holding up some dive bars end With a whisky sat far too naturally Between my leg Will you saunter over smokely and Tell me about your family And I will tell you you were right When you said I'd end up lonely And I will tell you that my life Didn't crack up to what id like would have been And I will stand up to say something Fall straight back in my seat And you will check your watch And say its probably time for you to leave And I will stand up to say something but Fall straight back in my seat And you will check your watch And say its probably time for you to leave And you will offer me a ride Only so its so f**ing cold outside You were always far too kind And I know there's a script that I could rehearse And there a lines I could make them work But I don't want them, I want you, And its not like there's a space that I need to fill Or like I have anytime we could k** But I don't need this, f**ing need you And this is the exact thing that I always do
