Maxïmo park - Stray talk

It's dark but I don't want to find the light
And I can't close my eyes
The only one you really trust
Is the one who always lets you down
It's not my place to give advice
When all I've done was make mistakes
I didn't mean to tell you everything
And anyway, well it's too late in the day

Stray talk all alone
Swinging in and out of view
I'm flailing round the room
And I'm staring out at you

Don't burn your hand when you turn out the light
Your cheek is turning red
You always wake me with your warmth
And your arms wrapped around my neck
The broken silence lasts for seconds
And normal service is resumed
I didn't mean to tell you anything
And anyhow, well it's too soon for that now Stray talk all alone
Swinging in and out of view
Well I'm flailing round the room
And I'm staring out at you

You sat there looking like a prize
So I went back on what I'd said
And now we're both left out to dry
Put out to sea and left to drift

We're drifting out to sea, we're drifting out to sea
You said the leaves are like that day
And now they're dead and charred

Stray talk all alone
Swinging in and out of view
Well I'm flailing round the room
And I'm staring out at you
I'm staring out at you
