Me Around You

(album: Roaring 20s - 2013)

Yeah. Yah. Yeah
I know the feelings what I said to him.
He let the letters fill his head with scribbled messages
No letting anything that looked uncool take precedence
He just spent most of his time acting all sensitive.
Said to give him

Something to distract me from the force at hand (What?)
Couple games of FIFA then we'll form a plan (Errrr)
I just wanna get him back to normal man (I said it can't be that again, he said-)
It sorta can...

It's awful standing close just to someone you know and love
Having to tell them something they don't want to know,
It's tough.
Frequently and often I've been close to coming out with it and telling him
It's right that they've just broken up
It wasn't cool you were a different you acting like she was gonna fit into a missus you,
Claiming (it's no longer than a week ago that we were in the living room)
You should have told her that

I'm just trying to be me around you,
me around you, me around you.
Can't this fairy tale ever come true
Ever come true, ever come true.
I'm just trying to be me around you,
me around you, me around you.
Can't this fairy tale ever come true
when I can't be me around you.

Yeah now it's time
To get out my soaking blues
So I'm gon' find
Somebody to tell the news
So I ring my friend he says

Wait it's bless I know you don't wanna take the stress
You haven't made a mess
In fact I say the best thing's happened
I'm pretty glad the relationship's dead
Umm yeah...

I was like hold on (What?)
Did I mishear?
Cos it sounded a little like you were happy,
this situation's taken tears

Nah nah, look, mate you can hate me if you want
but maybe you were wrong,
she was taking you along

I didn't know what to say to him but he said to me
(look, you should have told her that-)

I'm just trying to be me around you,
me around you, me around you.
Can't this fairy tale ever come true
Ever come true, ever come true.
I'm just trying to be me around you,
me around you, me around you.
Can't this fairy tale ever come true
when I cant be me around you.

Alright the thing is yeah.
I wasn't even in his hair,
think he got a little scared
by the fact I'd blow a kiss.
A moment without him was a moment missed
and all his closest mates would give him was a load of stick
Lost his ambition
Said he'd act different
Wanted a transition
Now he's upset with his own decision
Yeah, well he can go off with another slag
and when he knows he's wrong I'll watch him come running back

I'm just trying to be me around you,
me around you, me around you.
Can't this fairy tale ever come true
Ever come true, ever come true.
I'm just trying to be me around you,
me around you, me around you.
Can't this fairy tale ever come true
when I can't be me around you.
