A Bit Withdrawn

(Album: Trust The Wire - 2017)

I made a mess
As you could have guessed
You know when I'm nervous
I get stupidly impressed

And worst of all
They watched you fall
You curse then when
They don't look back at you
You're a bit withdrawn

And I said
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
You're a bit withdrawn
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

And if it's just a test
Then I won't confess
You know I got purpose
Cos I'm suitably dressed

And if I came across
Just a little lost
It hurt me that
You think that much of me
I'm a bit withdrawn

You drain from, you drain from
You're hiding out

How could you sense that from me?
You don't have to ask
That's what's great about that

And I'm not quite as brave as I seem
I'm just too tired to talk
So I nod along
I'm just a bit withdrawn
(Not quite, not quite with you)
I just nod along
(Not quite, not quite with you)

And once again
I'll just leave instead
You know that I'm certain
Cos I'm virtually obsessed

So I faked a smile
It was just in time
At worst I'm not much use to anyone
And at best I'm fine

The flame's gone, the flame's gone
Inside you now
Burning up your insides
Building up the next fire

You drain from, you drain from
You're hiding out

How could you sense that from me?
You don't have to ask
That's what's great about that

And I'm not quite as brave as I seem
I'm just too tired to talk
So I nod along
I'm just a bit withdrawn
(Not quite, not quite with you)
I just nod along
(Not quite, not quite with you)

Ooh ooh ooh-oo-oo-ooh
Ooh ooh ooh-oo-oo-ooh
Ooh ooh ooh-oo-oo-ooh
(Not quite, not quite with you)
Ooh ooh ooh-oo-oo-ooh
(Not quite, not quite with you)
