In dark corners and bars and ballrooms
Boys get childish and grow up too soon
I sit and stare at the Calgary girls
Pretty hair and their mummysâ'' pearls on
Till the fear wells up and hits me
Send letters to a comfortable history
I used to have it all
Now my head falls hard and alone
Onto a motel pillow
And I know thereâ''s a script that I could rehearse
And there are lines and I could make them work
But I donâ''t want them, I want you
And itâ''s not like thereâ''s a space that I need to fill
Or like I have any time we could kill
But I donâ''t need this, I need you
And this is the exact thing that I always do
We used to lie right here and speak
We were fucking great between these sheets
That you 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 Iâ''ll pretend that Iâ''m different now
And the first time we made love
It was dark and we were drunk
In someone elseâ''s, someone elseâ''s hostel bathroom
And you turned your back to me
And I said â''If this is the first of many then turn
back around, so I can fucking kiss you.â'
And I know thereâ''s a script that I could rehearse
And there are lines and I could make them work
But I donâ''t want them, I want you
And itâ''s not like thereâ''s a space that I need to fill
Or like I have any time we could kill
But I donâ''t need this, I need you
And this is the exact thing that I always do
Em D *
Holding up some dive barâ''s end
Em D *
between my legs
Em D *
tell me about your family
Em D *
When you said Iâ''d end up lonely
Em D *
didnâ''t crack up to what our life wouldâ''ve been
Em D *
And fall straight back in my seat
And youâ''ll check your watch and say â''Itâ''s probably time for you to leave.â'
And Iâ''ll stand up to say something brave and grand, fall straight back in my seat
You will check your watch and say â''Itâ''s probably time for you to leave.â'
And you will offer me a ride
Only cos itâ''s so fucking cold outside
You were always far too kind
And I know thereâ''s a script that I could rehearse
And there are lines and I could make them work
But I donâ''t want them, I want you
And itâ''s not like thereâ''s a space that I need to fill
Or like I have any time we could kill
But I donâ''t need this, I fucking need you
And this is the exact thing that I always do
