The Unrequited Kind

(album: EPHRATA - 2017)

Stumbling down Sauchiehall Sunday morning
Afraid that if I fall
I won't get back up again

At Charring Cross
I throw up
I feel sixteen again

When I drank ten pints and passed out
To get closer to you
It was a simple enough plan
But I didn't really think it through

Now the seagulls are laughing
As I wipe my chin in the window
I should have said something clever

You know I should've gone to the casino
Cause my odds would've been better
Could've stuck a tenner on the red
At least then I would've lost something

No I don't wanna break even with you
Well I don't wanna break even
No I don't wanna break even with you

A friend of mine says
The only love that's true
Is the unrequited kind
Well lucky me, I fell
For you

Yeah the seagulls are laughing
As I wipe my chin in the window
I should have said something clever

You know I should've gone to the casino
Cause my odds would've been better
Could've stuck a tenner on the red
At least then I would've lost something

No I don't wanna break even with you
Well I don't wanna break even
No I don't wanna break even with you
