lyrics

On that day, the day you turned to vapour,
was pointing out all our pros and cons until your,
condensation just seemed to linger on the phone.
Line by line i tried to reel you in,
on a fishing line of conversation,
an angler tugging on your heart strings,
but i couldn't pull you in.

Oh oh oh oh.....

She hung up, so upside down she left me,
the business of the heart is so forgetful,
so then i tell myself, "Never end up here again."
and i know ill figure me out again,
and i know ill get back on my feet again,
but right now i can't even see the fifth of the ninth,
forever just ran out.

29 to 23:59,
all those early 20's you took to hide,
from me, you kept them to spend them on yourself,
just to make me that little bit more,
shorter in pockets of my mind,
i'm sure you'll fill me up to fool me over time,
her low self esteem has never been this high,
dressed up to the nines.

A penny for those thoughts,
if your selling dreams ill take the lot,
fuck counting sheep i'm count me,
out of every memory that reminds me of her.

On that day, the day you turned to vapour,
was pointing out all our pros and cons until your,
condensation just seemed to linger on the phone.
Line by line i tried to reel you in,
on a fishing line of conversation,
an angler tugging on your heart strings,
so cue the violins.

29 to 23:59,
all those early 20's you took to hide,
from me, you kept them to spend them on yourself,
just to make me that little bit more,
shorter in pockets of my mind,
im sure you'll fill me up to fool me over time,
her low self esteem has never been this high,
dressed up to the nines.

Oh oh oh oh.....
