Never Give In

(album: Everything Is Borrowed - 2008)

I'll never give in 'til you're laying with me
You may as well tell me when that day will be
I'll never give in 'til you're laying with me
You may as well tell me when that day will be

I don't mean to sound so keen
But you know me and I don't feel
To spoil what we've got, enjoying watching dots
Drawing outlines for 'em all in good time
Through the scent of flowers and the humility of love
The evening is thus set up for a thorough dreaming up
The gentle guessing games with the sense of sex unsaid
Every sentiment lending metaphors for bed

I'll never give in 'til you're laying with me
You may as well tell me when that day will be
I'll never give in 'til you're laying with me
You may as well tell me when that day will be

I'll soon lie to you tonight
About the true size of you in my mind
I'll keep my arms with me from wrapping right 'round you
'Til one word sparks off a thought that could drown you
Does she do or does she don't love me true or fuck me won't?
The only time I know of love is when silence is violent
Optimism fizzing in the clonk in dizzy imagery
A rocking hot humidity, but this is sizzling
Stumble over innuendo, does she notice? Does she? Fuck no
A stifling evening, rifling through feelings (Ah!)

I'll never give in 'til you're laying with me
You may as well tell me when that day will be
I'll never give in 'til you're laying with me
You may as well tell me when that day will be

I don't mean to sound so keen
But you know me and I don't feel
To spoil what we've got, enjoying watching dots
Drawing outlines for 'em all in good time (Ah!)

I'll never give in 'til you're laying with me
You may as well tell me when that day will be
I'll never give in 'til you're laying with me
You may as well tell me when that day will be
I'll never give in 'til you're laying with me
You may as well tell me when that day will be
I'll never give in 'til you're laying with me
You may as well tell me when that day will be
