Lucky Me

I let you down
I let you down
I did it well, I gave you hell
And messed you around.
I was wrong and caught red handed
It didn’t work the way I planned it
I wish I hadn’t dressed you with that frown
I let you down.

I mucked it up
I mucked it up
You saw the side I tried to hide
And that was too much
I could go to church on Sunday
Maybe I’d be alright Monday
Amazin how this grace helps me rebound
I let you down.

Oh was it really me
Who jumped in first and made you curse
Just at the sight of me
How could it be
That I’d become the kind of one
I swore I’d never be

I was wrong and caught red handed
It didn’t work the way I’d planned it
I wish I hadn’t dressed you with that frown
I let you down
I let you down.

Lucky me I finally see,
I’ve got you as a friend,
It’s a sin, I’ve been so dim,
To see it too the end,
Such a thrill, my head you fill,
Your face betrays your heart.

And I’m sorry that I didn’t get it
Closer to the start

My love falls, a wrecking ball,
And knocks you down again.
Please look out, cause I’m about
As dangerous as fame
Such a thrill, my head you fill,
Your grace betrays your heart.

I wonder how we’re supposed to be together,
I wonder how we’re supposed to do this living,
But I don’t mind, if you don’t know
Maybe we could just pretend and paper over

I wonder if love will always be this painful
I wonder if we’re the only ones who struggle
But I don’t mind, if you don’t know
Maybe we could just pretend and paper over

Maybe this is as good as it gets sometimes
Maybe I’m just waiting for my life to start
Maybe this is as good as it gets sometimes
Maybe I’m just waiting for my life to start

But I don’t mind, if you don’t know
Maybe we could just pretend and paper over

Maybe this is as good as it gets
Maybe this is as good as it gets
Sometimes

Save me from the movies and someone else’s dreams
While angels make their music and give my spirit wings
I just concertina and wrap around the world
Staying out ‘til 6 o’clock and singing like a fool

I’ve only got this morning to live
Look at all the colours at my fingertips

I don’t want to stand still
I just want to freewheel
I don’t want to lose this

Save my feet from dancing with anyone at all
Worn out shoes because lotus blue is hanging in the hall
You’re a face in the distance I hope to recognise
It’s like running through deep water trying to look into your eyes

I’ve only got this morning to live
Look at all the colours at my fingertips

I don’t want to stand still
I just want to freewheel
I don’t want to lose this

Don’t breathe, please don’t move
Or they’ll hear us, they’re right outside
We should hide til the morning
Don’t breathe, we could ride to the border and start again
Change our names and grow old

Yes it’s my fault that I didn;t try to warn you
Now they’ve got you in a corner
Yes it’s my fault and I wish I could take it all back
I wish I could take it all back

Don’t leave, well you can go
If you want to, look I’ve made you cry
I would die if you did it
Don’t leave, we could ride to the border and start again
Change our names and grow old

Yes it’s my fault that I didn;t try to warn you
Now they’ve got you in a corner
Yes it’s my fault and I wish I could take it all back
I wish I could take it all back

I don’t know what to do
I’m at your mercy
I’ve been turned off and blind to you
I’m where you want me
This medicine is hard to take
I’m running but I can’t escape
This could be it, so even if it hurts

Kill me please quickly, don’t tease me

I run whiskey-fed to dawn
There’s no excuses
I’m just looking for a home
I need it so much
If you love me then I might be whole
But God knows, I’ve got this rebel soul
This could be it, so whatever it takes

Kill me please quickly, don’t tease me
