Favourite Boy

(album: A Blemish In The Great Light - 2019)

Well, I heard you've got that show tonight
Don't you know that I wanna be there
But I gave my name to the girl at the door
When you knew that it wasn't there

Now I know I'm not your favourite boy
I can see it in the way you fake your smile
At least you could say I was good to you
At least you could say I tried, alright

And I know how it feels to look at you
Know you've got a lotta eyes
And you look so good in that summer dress
Against the colour of the sky

And I don't know how it started
Don't know what to believe
Your head upon my shoulder
Or the ringing in my ears

I don't know what's happening...

Now here we are in the red moonlight, girl
Ooh just waiting on a feeling
And I know I'm not the only one
That stopped believing

Now I'm floating a million miles away
Just floating on a breeze
I see you in my nightmares
I see you in my dreams

I don't know how it started
Don't know what to believe
Your head upon my shoulder
Or the ringing in my ears

I know I'm not your favourite boy
I can see it in the way you fake your smile
