lyrics

Maybe if we hadn't slept together
This would be clearer and I would feel better
Would my appetite wane or would my lips be wetter?
Baby if we hadn't slept together
Or maybe if we had just tried one more time
I’m sure that we could have done better than fine
And It could be I love you it could be I’m bored
But maybe I’d know if we tried it once more

I spend my days here paused with a pen
I try not to dress till at least 3pm
And some of it’s lonely and some of it’s bliss
But maybe it’s all just as simple as this

Keep whistling when you’re out of tune
It’s so much sweeter out of time
Keep kicking round in this and soon
You’ll kick the thing you're trying to find

I took the low round it was all dirt and gravel
You tried the highway there were too many cars
Maybe it’s all just in how you travel
Maybe it’s all in how you see the stars
And I cannot claim to have found many answers
Time’s made of silk, it drifts and it dances
Envied as rival, admired as friend
Either way, it’ll pass us in the end

Keep whistling when you’re out of tune
It’s so much sweeter out of time
Keep kicking round in this and soon
You’ll kick the thing you're trying to find

And maybe if we hadn’t slept together
A matter of timing a change in the weather
Or maybe if one of us had been bolder
Or maybe if you had just been 10 years older
