Was that really you?
It was hard to recognise you
With that look on your face
I saw it in your deep green eyes,
You were gone
But suddenly everything fell into place
Oh boy, you looked so naive
In your skinny jeans and your stripy t-shirt
It started as a silly game, are we still in time to stop
Before it gets dangerous?
We sat on the old staircase until your roommate left
We creeped into your room
While it filled with morning light
Although waves took you back where you came from
And we tried to fight them
All we did was fall
Psychedelic pictures hanging from your bedroom wall
We tried to fight them
But all we did was fall
I'm sorry, but lately I've been feeling way too low
To actually care anymore
We cracked, but it felt good
Locked ourselves in the darkest of rooms
Laid on the sand and left
At the break of dawn
We felt the dirty looks of strangers in their suits
In the yellow line
We kissed, got off and waved them goodbye
Holding hands we walked round White Dove Square
"James, take a look at the mess we're in"
We sat on the old staircase until your roommate left
We creeped into your room
While it filled with morning light
Although waves took you back where you came from
And we tried to fight them
All we did was fall
Psychedelic pictures hanging from your bedroom wall
We tried to fight them
But all we did was fall
I'm sorry, but lately I've been feeling way too low
To actually care anymore
(To actually care anymore)
(To actually care)
Although waves took you back where you came from
I feel you close
Where did you go?
Back where you belong
Where you came from
Hold me close
And take me back to that old staircase
Let's creep into your room
While it fills with morning light
Although waves took you back where you came from
And we tried to fight them
All we did was fall
Psychedelic pictures hanging from your bedroom wall
We tried to fight them
But all we did was fall
I'm sorry but lately I've been feeling way too low
To actually care anymore
I've been feeling way too low
You've got her pictures hanging from your bedroom wall
But I don't give a damn
'Cause all we did was fall
