lyrics

A metre of distance,
A word I can’t remember,
And I’m inebriated,
I wish I could be smaller
I know that doesn’t seem right,
A thought that drowns in water
It’s heavy like the boat with that walrus in the water.

And I sit and gaze,
I wish I had all the time in the world to look at your face
And I did,
But I wish for some more,
That eternity’s got nothing on ethereal mortals like you.

I should shut up,
I should smother my own mouth,
I should shrink in size and be a mime,
And plot my running out
You are pretty
And graceful as a swan
And I’m the walrus in the boat that tips
As usual I drown
And I tip him,
But that’s as good as I get,
The extent of my own virtues,
I would share a cigarette but I’m unprepared,
I should’ve checked
For a night like this.
