I wrote this song while travelling between Germany and London. Originally it was rapped on an instrumental by Nujabes. I love how groovy Tom's arrangement is!
lyrics
I know it's been some time since we last texted & I'll admit none of this is what I expected or hoped for, once again wrong way around, once again I was lovebound, but then again
regrets won't make it any better. Still I sit down to write you this letter and let me tell you there's nothing I'm hoping from you. In fact, this is all for me, my personal therapy.
I know it's just the small things but I can't help holding on cause I don't know anything else, I don't have anything else from you I could hold on to so everytime I see your face I'm reminded of it between my legs. Don't be mad, I'm not sad but it's the only thing we ever had. Once again wrong way around, once again first laying down, and I was lovebound.
took the wrong directions now I'm directless
got the wrong intentions maybe I'm reckless
need to break free from expectations
anxiety's got me breathless
told me we'd meet in LDN but now you're busy. I'm busy too but maybe boo, we could do business, but the handbook reads 'don't be too nice' 'don't sacrifice your space and time' 'be the one to roll the dice'.
Roll the dice baby, but I ain't playing, I'm here on this airplane, sittin' writin' hopin' getting this down'll help me with these feelings before I go crazy, start planning, believing
you and me could be a thing, but you & me it's just a fling, something that I can rap about and sing, a story with no meaning... or is it so? Somehow I always end up hoping for something mo
a little peace of mind, that's something I could borrow yeah I said I wasn't sad but now I'm feeling sorrow. But I know I need to let go, and you don't need to worry or feel sorry for me.
took the wrong directions now I'm directless
got the wrong intentions maybe I'm reckless
need to break free from expectations
anxiety's got me breathless
oooh baby baby I hope you're not into these games
cause someone always gets hurt in the end
oooh baby baby I hope you're not into these games
cause someone always gets hurt in the end
