When we eat our dinner on the bench
I cant help but think of bigger things
Like when we can afford to buy that table

A table for you and me
A man can only dream

So this is the first degree
It feels pretty good to me

I’m waiting for the right time
Is this what you wanted out of life?
I’ll be honest with you darling
This is all I wanted the whole time


The First Degree

And I know just what I want
Im not sure yet how you feel
Only a week or so has passed
It feels like a year or two

And I’ve still got your letter
Packed away in my pocket
It seems the trees have gotten taller
But the birds havent said word
(CHORUS)
Can I get your word?
That things wont be the same
I’ll be okay once I know
That things wont be the same

And I know just what I want
But it changes day to day
I’m finding you hard to get a hold of
Maybe that’s why you’re so far away
I’m still trying to figure out why
I’m left lying awake at night
(CHORUS)
And I sometimes question your reasons
And what was even there from the start
You’d leave a lamp on in the evenings
As if it was always too dark
(CHORUS)
Now that I know you’re not coming home
I’m fine if you stay away
No theres nothing more for you to say
I’m fine if things don’t stay the same


Things Won't Be The Same

See the fly on the shelf
Buzzing around, you’ve go nowhere else to go
No place to call home

Fruit on the bench about to rot
Don’t worry they say, you were never about to find her
To see what could have been
(What could have been)

Guess the book will have to stay
‘Cause it couldn’t possibly fit
Just leave it, leave it with someone else
With somebody that you trust 
(Or not)

You couldn’t help yourself
You’re losing your shit over nothing
In the room you thought she’d be

You couldn’t help yourself
Looking through the empty rooms
For something that could have been
What you thought you needed all along

The shit you get from your friend
Clutching the feeling, 
Development under arrest
Keep pushing the label from your chest

Clutching the Feeling

When you cross paths with someone who has a profound impact on you, and makes you realise what you didn’t know
