houseplants

You pour the wine, I'll pour a cup of tea
Strain our eyes to adjust to this jarring colour scheme
And mood lights and house plants
Grand Designs and channel surfing
Drifting with these solar winds
We stay searching
I'm really enjoying this regardless of what happens from here
Turn it up, don't turn it down
I'm moving through the gears 'cause I've been lost for years
I really appreciate you coming down on train lines and night buses
Pillows full of goose feathers
Read it in the newsletters
I'm a real go-getter, tripping with these trend-setters
Multi-coloured parachute hat with the solar-powered fan
It's cool, she's with the band

I just wanna take you out for the summer
I would never swap you out for another
I'm kind of scared of your eldest brother
We've been dressing up 'cause we look like stunners
Girl, why does it feel like it's real for the first time?
Girl, why does it feel like it's real for the first time?

Listen
I, I know your face from somewhere
How do I know you?
I thought you were the lifeguard at the local pool?
But wherever I know you from, you put me in a good mood
And so I changed the channel from the local news and weather
It's FIFA '98 with the surround sound
I hope my housemates don't freak you out
Or better still, they're not around
Way up here on my trapeze, please don't shoot me down
I love the way we hate these clowns
And for a minute there, you had me shook, waiting
Holding on a health line

I just wanna take you out for the summer
I would never swap you out for another
I'm kind of scared of your eldest brother
We've been dressing up 'cause we look like stunners
Girl, why does it feel like it's real for the first time?
Girl, why does it feel like it's real for the first time?

Girl, why does it feel like it's real for the first time?
Girl, why does it feel like it's real for the first time?
Why does it feel like it's real for the first time?
And life's on hold again

Your elbows on the table, but I'll let it slide for now
You almost got carried away and said yes, I'd have loved that
Let's grab a jo' off a friend then smoke it out the window
Never mind the neighbour's cat, he always stares at me like that
Moroccan bee-sting, Colin the Caterpillar left over from my birthday
What the fuck? I'm actually in love
Lucid as my dreams and still struggling with decisions
Coffee stains and urban wisdom

I just wanna take you out for the summer
I would never swap you out for another
I'm kind of scared of your eldest brother
We've been dressing up 'cause we look like stunners
Girl, why does it feel like it's real for the first time?
Girl, why does it feel like it's real for the first time?

You pour the wine, I'll pour a cup of tea
Strain our eyes to adjust to the jarring colour scheme
And mood lights and house plans
Grand Designs and channel surfing
