Have you seen the moon tonight? Nobody would have liked it like you And have you seen the mornings that were evenings when you walked in the door And have you heard the birdsong? Can you hear it down the phone? We're forever turning quietly down every single street And I'm talking to Megan and she's a barista She's training to be a drama teacher And I'm talking to Naz about Football Manager He's doing quite well with Stevenage Borough And Sophie's wearing Hollister, Hannah's wearing Trapstar You're wearing Slazenger and I'm wearing Farah Ethan's drinking chocolate milk and I'm drinking vodka Do you know how it is when you're the only passenger? We lean against the bannister in Canada Water And I have the Fudge and you have the Maltesers You connect your phone to the Bluetooth speaker You play Don't Cry For Me, Argentina And I say Don't Cry For Me, Pochettino And you do that face you do when I think I'm funny And Maya goes inside to get some water And there is only the sky and your Juicy Couture and Have you seen the moon tonight? Nobody would have liked it like you And have you seen the mornings that were evenings when you walked in the door And have you heard the birdsong? Can you hear it down the phone? We're forever turning quietly down every single street And now I'm dancing to gabber in half-time drinking amaretto And you're out somewhere probably being all wholesome And hang on a minute Harvey's found my capo He says it's too early for the Late Night Lido And I don't know what he means or if it just sounds good And you're out somewhere living life properly And knowing you, you're probably worrying you're not And I'm wiping my face paint off in the mirror Yeah I'm out and about and I'm thinking of you And I've got nothing to tell you except that it's only you that I've got nothing to tell and Have you seen the moon tonight? Nobody would have liked it like you And have you seen dadadadada were evenings when you walked in the door And have you heard the birdsong? Can you hear it down the phone? We're forever turning quietly down every single street When that goal went in, I just didn't believe it I jumped on the table, the pub went mad Bought all the shots I could with a tenner Oh you should have seen me then You should have seen me bouncing around with a beer in my hand And jumping around with Tom in my arms You should have seen me running through the streets without a care in the world Oh you should have seen me then And now it's sunrise, I didn't fancy the afters so I'm walking home alone And the only cars on the streets are the cabs taking people like you and me back home And maybe you stayed in to do your coursework with Jessie Reyez on in the background And the clouds are like birthmarks in the sky or something And every Vauxhall Corsa is shaped like a tear Listen to me, this is what my songs sound like now You see the moon tonight? Nobody would have Were evenings when you walked in the door and Birdsong can you hear it down the phone? We're forever we're forever turning quietly down every single Down every single street down every single down every single street We're forever turning quietly down every down we're forever quietly turning down every single street we're forever turning quietly down every single street yeah that was good
