[Verse 1]
It makes me laugh a little
If I think that somebody else is killing spiders for you instead of me
But I'll have to live with it
This damned heart that melts every time I say goodbye
Our mums still do Zumba together
And perhaps they gossip about us too
You already know how it ends: I'll get emotional
And you'll get bored instead

[Chorus]
But you have to promise me
That one day when you're lost
Sometimes you'll think about what we used to be
About the days spent at the sea, about my paranoia
About the kitchens we couldn't buy
About my lost wars, your fake truces
About all the caresses that perhaps were pushes
I swear it makes me laugh a bit

[Verse 2]
I used to sing "Fix You" to you
To lull you to sleep when the world kept you awake
And now I'm just a guy
You barely wave to if you meet on the streets
And I don't want to get changed, go out to socialise
Tonight I just want to be a ship at the bottom of the sea
You were like Flying Tiger: I didn't need anything
But once inside, you destroyed me
Because I realised I needed everything

[Chorus]
But you have to promise me
That one day when you're lost
Sometimes you'll think about what we used to be
About the days spent at the sea, about my paranoia
About the kitchens we couldn't buy
Apricot shampoo, your hair in my mouth
About your stubbornness, about the anxiety, the fear
I swear it makes me laugh a bit

[Bridge]
But you have to promise me
That one day when you'll be old
You'll tell someone what we used to be

[Chorus]
Dinners at your mum's, our first joint
That one time in London when they put cream in the carbonara
Your eyes, your moles that aren't mine anymore
But in the end, I'll swear that I'd do it all again
I'd do it all again
