Time To Part

from For Everybody And No One by Matt Midgley

/

lyrics

Please don't sit there speechless
Just staring at your toes
I understand it's a lot to take in, but I don't
Know how to start explaining
Justifying or defending
Can't make it make much sense
But I'll try:

At first we were a shambles
Two one way streets, no traffic signs
The pile up was predictable
We always jumped the lights
When we met three years later
While we'd both grown more sober
Our beginnings were and will be lined
With bottles and bathroom tiles

We hid it with the sex
With hangovers and sleeping bags
With bags under our sleepless in the cold light of day
See we aren't simple addition
Or even straight subtraction
We're an inverse logarithm
Rising, but never meet

See the funny thing about us that are emotionally retarded
We seek the company of mirrors
To clearly preen out faults
And for a while it seems ok
If it's not worsening it's getting better
So who's a pretty Polly?
Sure as hell isn't me

There's plenty I'm unsure of
And I know that it's a gamble
But the only things that's certain is a wait and a box
And 'cause the time's unknown
It's even more important
I'm leaving, I'm withdrawing
It's time for us to part

I'm leaving, I'm withdrawing
It's time for us to part
