How many words did you come up with today?
How many words do you want to hear tonight?
You flare up but beneath lies defeat
I see your eyes now and they are calm

I've answered enough phones for one life
I've worn too many ties around my neck

I wake up and I find a trace of you there
So sullen, your words haunt the air
I wake up and I find a trace of you there
So sullen

Taking long walks in perfect silence
Joined together in useless harmony
Your hard breath means that you're upset
An overheated North-West bliss

But I've answered enough phones for one life
I've worn too many ties around my neck

Just wait and see
I don't know much about bravery
But I'll raise you up
With my bad jokes and loose promises
She said to think of her when I'm alone
But I'm never alone
When I want to be

I wake up and I find a trace of you there
So sullen, your words haunt the air
I wake up and I find a trace of you there
So sullen, your words haunt the air
Your words haunt the air
