lyrics

We met on the stairwell whilst painting our names on the wall
.
You hardly noticed as I put mine over yours
.
The cold conditions were a perfect alibi

To shuffle closer
 and hear you say -


Oh no, 

Not here,

Not now,

Oh hell.


How was I s’posed to know 
that you’d never kissed a girl before?

Where were we s’posed to go
to make you feel safe?

You held my hand so tight
 'cause you thought you’d get in trouble boy.
Then I heard you cry
 as your friends gave chase -


Oh no,

Not me,

Not now,

Oh help.



As we got older
 we started drinking in the streets
.
I hardly noticed
 as you chose me over wine
.
How were you s’posed to know
 that I’d never been in love before?

Your words were chemical
, such as with alcohol -


Oh no,

Just me,

Just now,

Oh hell.


With such uncertainty
 how can we trust the mind,

Our age, the time of year
 and all these petty crimes?
