lyrics

You play with your pint glass like a cat with a ball,
they chant your name at midnight in the church hall,
your name calls out to mine at midnight
trying to get through it all,
I succumb to this and that, and I confess, and I'm a fool,
and I would fall at your feet.

I'm walking the dog and trying to keep to the beat,
there's a sparkle in the frost on the ground, on the street
where the fairy lights and my boots meet,
I'm treading on thin ice but I always loved the sweet,
sweet, crunching sound.

I've been looking for transcendence from town to town,
searching for the answers all the world round,
yeah, I've been up night and day, and all that I've found
is I just can't bear it when you're not around!

There are dreams that are just dreams.
There are dreams that aren't just dreams.
And there's something about the letters of your name,
they just toss and turn through the night.
Draw eyeliner on,
just in case we don't come back alive!
You and I, we're in love and that's a given!

We'd both woken up early on the day that we met,
you were making a shelter to light a cigarette,
I bought a tiffin so I wouldn't look too cheap in the Pret,
you know those squares
you see in cities there ain't plans for yet,
the ones you stop to adore.

We kissed till our lips felt swollen and sore,
we spoke till we couldn't hear the chill anymore,
I'd never seen aggression so soft before,
there's a heaven in your sky, a gurn in your jaw,
tell me why

we're all dancing in basements trying not to die.
You smiled straight at me, I thought I could cry.
Thought it was all femme fatale until I opened my eyes
and saw everything but love is nothing but a lie!

There are dreams that are just dreams.
There are dreams that aren't just dreams.
And there's something about the letters of your name,
they just toss and turn through the night.
Draw eyeliner on,
just in case we don't come back alive!
You and I, we're in love and that's a given!

Oooh sha la la etc

Well, it's a world that begs to be lived in,
it's a day designed for living,
we're in love and that's a given,
and we never let go.
