You And The Rest

(album: Slipway Fires - 2008)

You say, you're thinking of me
And you'll do it at any cost
And you say that you believe in life
Any love you've never lost

Everything keeps changing on me
I can't tell you how I feel
People shift and re-arrange on me
How should I know what is real?

And it has been shown
You can get broken bones
And it has been proved
There's so much to lose

When we try to live as one
We try to live as one

You ask me where I'd be
And to you I just can't lie
There were only ever two women here
You and the rest have passed me by

And yes, I'm thinking of you
Can't switch you off at any cost
While I figure out these rules of love
And pretend I've never lost

But I lost from the start
I was kicked back hard
Intake and back draft blew
Then the flames consumed

Well, we try and live as one
We try and live as one

I'm not making plans for tomorrow
I'm just figuring it out
You can beg it, steal or borrow
Or count me out

See the moment disappearing
And the joke is getting thin
I see my enemy appearing
And I'm him

We try to live as one
We try to live as one
Can we try to live as one?
Oh, we try to live as one

When you get back, when you get back, ohh
When you get back, when you get back, ohh
When you get back, when you get back, ohh
When you get back, when you get back, ohh
