Verse 1 
I treated you like a child, when I knew you were a woman. 
I treated you like a fool, when I knew I shouldn’t. 
I thought that I was playing it cool, always keeping at a distance.  
But now I see that was cruel. And I’m done, done, lying down deep to myself. 
 
Pre-Chorus 
I don’t know why I played you this way. (Did it stem from a break in my heart?) 
Showing signs, I was certain to stay (but then walking away in the dark). 
I don’t know why, I never trust in someone to love.  
And now I've lost you. Hiding the truth... you were... 
 
Chorus 
Making me smile always taking me out of the lonely, lonely.  
Living so free I could feel myself breathe with you near me, near me 
So, I don’t know why I didn’t say at the time, you were perfect in my eyes. 
Patient each night with your candle held bright in the dark.  
For a man who can’t open his heart. 
   
Verse 2 
You tried to stay strong at first, always waiting for devotion. 
You never showed you’d been hurt, wasting time on my emotions. 
I thought that if I opened up, you’d have gone within a moment. 
But now I’ve seen the end of us, I’m just left scarred, holding my heart in my hands. 
 
Pre-Chorus

Scars

Verse 1 
I see you with a blue jumpsuit hair over your eyes. 
And I wonder how you’ll move when the music starts to rise. 
And you’re cute and I can’t get you out my mind when I go to the cloakroom. 
Should I wait till the end of the night when it’s probably too late to have spoken? 
 
Chorus 
Or should I go now and tell you you’re the prettiest girl in the world. 
Spin you like a Ferris wheel in the clouds, dancing all night. 
Or will I be wrong, walking your way when it’s your favourite song? 
But if I never say hello, I’ll lose you tonight. 
 
Verse 2 
So, I breathe with a sigh of relief, that you’re still with your friends on the dancefloor. 
Take the drink, that I got for your lips, cross my fingers you like what I got ya. 
And I’m cool, when I walk to the beat, but when I get to you, I’m a statue. 
Let me shake all this fear out my veins, coz if I can’t impress, I can’t have you. 
 
Chorus 
So, I take your hand and tell you... you’re the prettiest girl in the world. 
Spin you like a Ferris wheel in the clouds, dancing all night.  
Oh, then you pull me close and tell me that you’d seen me as the lights went low. 
And, if I’d never said hello, you’d have left for the night. 
So, dance with me. 
 
INSTRUMENTAL 
Outro 
Yeah, if I’d never said hello, oh if I’d never said hello. 
You’d be at home with just your favourite songs, not with me tonight.

Blue Jumpsuit

Ice Cream – Final Version 
 
Verse One 
You’re all over me like ice cream melting on a summer day. 
Trickling down my hands and on my chest. 
Building up in the setting sun, its colours fading as we play. 
Two sparks soon igniting to a flame. 
   
Pre-Chorus  
We both held back before we chose a night to meet.  
But now we’re here, we can’t deny our chemistry. 
 
Chorus 
So, take it slow but just for a while.  
I’ll grab the dips of your hips,  
Take your hair in my hands.  
Lick your lips and tell me your mine. 
I’ll kiss the side of your neck,  
Hold you close whilst we grind, yeah. 
We don’t need to notice the time,  
So, leave your marks on my body and your body on my mind. 
We’ll find a place to fuel our desires. 
And then we’ll hold on together ‘till the end of the night. 
 
Verse Two 
Morning sighs and blurry eyes, our limbs laid in a tangled mess 
Bodies pushing back the need for rest.  
We know we’re tired, but last night's high still echoes in our warm embrace. 
Touching all the unknowns that we missed. 
 
Pre-chorus  
We’re both a little shy, more than just last night. 
But when our bodies talk, there’s no use trying to hide.
