Frank Turner
Cynicism Free
[Verse 1]
Said that I was done with love songs
No more fairytales and shooting stars
Only to turn into jagged battle scars
Thought that I would be forever
Wandering this world all on my own
Following the sunset like a rolling stone
But I rolled into your path
And the timing wasn’t right
No I had to stop the world to catch your eye
Since I rolled into your path
All the colours burn more bright
Now I’m staring down the barrel
Of this big blue sky

[Chorus]
So come on make me shiver
Just a little quiver
Like the rolling river runs into the sea
I’ll be heading for you
From the day I saw you
There was nowhеre in the world I’d rather bе
Fill my days with laughter
Happy ever after
I thought it wasn’t for the likes of me
But since you showed what love could be
I’m cynicism free
[Verse 2]
So wake me up with Sunday pancakes
Drive me through the Broads out to the coast
Swimming in the secret beaches we love most
To end up in an armchair somewhere
Huddled by a fireside salty skin
Picking up a scrabble game I’ll never win
And when the sunlight’s fading out
And the waves erase our tracks
We’ll listen to Armatrading
All the whole drive back
Carrying a conversation on
That has lasted all these months
No we’ve not got bored of talking once
So…

[Chorus]
Come on make me shiver
Just a little quiver
Like the rolling river runs into the sea
I’ll be heading for you
From the day I saw you
There was nowhere in the world I’d rather be
Fill my days with laughter
Happy ever after
I thought it wasn’t for the likes of me
But since you showed what love could be
I’m cynicism free
[Verse 3]
And when I meet you off the train after a week away
We come bursting out with things we need to say
And you come walking off the towpath
The wind in your hair
And when I see you there
It’s like being on the dancefloor 1am
When they play Like A Prayer
Oh darling, take me there
So

[Chorus]
Come on make me shiver
Just a little quiver
Like the rolling river runs into the sea
I’ll be heading for you
From the day I saw you
There was nowhere in the world I’d rather be
Fill my days with laughter
Happy ever after
I thought it wasn’t for the likes of me
But since you showed what love could be
I’m cynicism free

Come on make me shiver
Just a little quiver
I’m cynicism free
Just a little shiver
Like the rolling river
I’m cynicism free
Come on make me quiver
Just a little shiver
I’m cynicism free
Just a little shiver
Like the rolling river
I’m cynicism free
