We Cut Corners - Maybe In The Future lyrics

Back then in the middle ages When you were catching on but no contagious I blew all my chances shoelaces fumbled with numb digits I swatted your advances like they were summer evening midges We really made a meal of our goodbyes We served them cold and undercooked You tell me I have got the bluest eyes But I can't remember because it's been so long since I've looked There's no need to fight over me Cos I'm divisible by three Down there on your haunches Do you feel you let it go to waste? Do you get a bit self-councious When they say you have an aquired face? I'm sorry I didn't get home to make the children I stopped to watch a fire rip through building An onlooker said something about a silver lining But missing golden opportunities is my thing You've told me how difficult it gets Being so desiried in this town The next time you get the urge for being submerged You can hold onto my wrist while I holding your face down The fog lifted while our lips over-lapped You're not that gifted you're just beautifully gift wrapped The more I try to clarify the more the meaning blurs But maybe in the future I will say more using less words
