[Verse 1]
It was never going to be a good time
When you said you had to talk to me
I even tried to lower my expectations
Treat it like another New Year's Eve
I must have been so far up my own ass
Not to notice you falling behind
But you're always so well put together
Wish I'd read between your perfect lines

[Chorus]
I know that it's alright
But it doesn't soothe me
I know that it's all good
It just doesn't move me

[Verse 2]
I've been throwing death stares at the doorway
Waiting for a punchline to appear
You were always clumsy in a good way
Now it's turned to something we all fear
I just want to take the perfect photo
So that I can show you what I mean
When I say you look like Uma Thurman
When she was in Mad Dog and Glory
[Chorus]
I know that it's alright
But it doesn't soothe me
I know that it's all good
It just doesn't move me

[Chorus]
I know that it's alright
(Everyone's around us)
But it doesn't soothe me
(I want you to stay)
I know that it's real good
(And now I'm looking out the window)
It just doesn't move me
(Take me away)

[Outro]
You're the bit that holds us all together
Never had much time for sympathy
I'll throw a little courage on my nightdress
I want to be yours till there's no me
