[Verse 1]
Cry me a river, goddamn
Cry me a sea
Flood this room in ocean water
Fuck it, life's a beach
Turn my skin a pale blue
Rip the colour out my hair
I see in grey, I see in grey
I see in grey everywhere

[Verse 2]
Reading Sylvia Plath and
Murakami
Words ripped right out of my
Sixth form diary
I cannot stand the hand that traces
Mangled words across your floodlit faces
(Oh)

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh no, what a lovely surprise it was
To see you last Saturday night, we had
So much to talk about, I'm so glad
We could talk it out

[Chorus]
And there's a headache in my chest
Would you cut it out?
Would you cut it out?
And there's a beating in my head
Would you knock me out?
Would you knock me out?
Would you please?
[Verse 3]
Well
Trash the moped! (What?)
Bring me a dial! (How?)
Maybe later we can start a goddamn
Garden fire!
This must not be who I am
There's still so much to do
Everything has happened so much
I see in grey, I see in grey
I see blue

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh no, such a poor mistake it was
To get drunk on a day like today, we had
So little to talk about
Yet such little room between each other's mouths

[Chorus]
And there's a headache in my chest
Would you cut it out?
Would you cut it out?
And there's a beating in my head
Would you knock me out?
Would you knock me out?
And there's a headache in my chest
Would you cut it out?
Would you cut it out?
And there's a beating in my head
Would you knock me out?
Would you knock me out?
Would you please? (What?)
Please?
