Taught me to kill my indulgences

With a sharp blow to the temple

Pick up the phone call and do everything he says

I could take a plastic camera

We could make such a pretty picture

Oh so happy. Oh, oh so happy

I'm pretty cool once you get to know me

I feel at some point I broke my mind

I'm always searching the silent type

How do you all make it look so easy?

You open your hearts up so quickly it scares me

She's an artist, paints across my chest

Goes to parties, act like hotel guests

Wake up Monday, now it's over

Don't you know no-one gets what they came here for?

I could paint her, wrapped around her

We could make such a pretty picture

Oh so happy. Oh, oh so happy

I'm pretty cool once you get to know me

But I'm just the same

I've got a boring name

Across the world from what you want and what you came here for

So I'll wait here for you

Said, please just let me stay

Oh, just let me stay

I guess you know now what to expect

He lives your own life in retrospect

You know it bores me? These insecurities

Breaks you down just to act as the architect

I could wait here, by the west pier

Watched the flotsam float, slowly disappear

Oh so happy, oh oh, so happy

If only you knew just how much better things could be

Another week of action

Another hypoglycaemic reaction

But I'm just the same

I've got a boring name

Across the world from what you want and what you came here for

So I'll wait here for you

Said, please just let me stay

Oh, just let me stay

Oh, just let me…

I'm sorry it's all so predictable

I'm sorry it's all so predictable
