Newton Faulkner
Foundations
[Verse 1]
Thursday night and everything's fine
Except you've got that look in your eye
When you're telling a story and you find it boring
You're thinking of something to say
You'll go along with it, then drop it
And humiliate me in front of our friends
[Verse 2]
Then I'll use that voice that you find annoying
And say something like "yes, intelligent input, darling
Why don't you have another glass of wine?"
Then you'll call me a ...
And everyone we're with will be embarrassed
And I won't give a sh...
[Chorus 1]
My fingertips are holding onto
The cracks in our foundation
And I know that I should let go, but I can't
And every time we fight I know it's not right
Every time you get upset and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
[Verse 3]
Oh, you said I must eat so many lemons
'Cause I am so bitter
I said, "I'd rather be with your friends, mate
'Cause they all much fitter"
Yes, it was childish and you got aggressive
And I must admit, I was a bit scared
It gives me thrills to wind you up
[Chorus 1]
My fingertips are holding onto
The cracks in our foundation
And I know that I should let go, but I can't
And every time we fight I know it's not right
Every time you get upset and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
[Bridge]
Your face is pasty 'cause you've gone and got so wasted
What a surprise, I can't look at your face
'Cause it's makin' me sick
You've gone and got sick on my trainers
I only got these yesterday
Oh my gosh, I can't be bothered with this
[Chorus 1]
My fingertips are holding onto
The cracks in our foundation
And I know that I should let go, but I can't
And every time we fight I know it's not right
Every time you get upset and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
[Chorus 2]
Oh my fingertips are molding into the shape of a crustacean
And I try to play with Lego, but I can't
And every time we fight I know it's not right
Every time you get upset and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
