quiet evening, bloody jaws
i have realised, you ignore
every word that i say,
waiting patient until i go away

on the pavement, we stare up
bask in silence, won’t speak up
until you do, until we’re through, there’s nothing left

the fire’s burnt out and i blame it on you
the street has gone cold, oh you’ve frozen me too

i can tell by the way that you stare at glass,
window looking at us both as the cars fly past
you’ve wondering ‘why don’t i leave now?’
‘is she all i need now?’

i can tell by the way that you hold your own glass,
i’m just another figment of an old buried past
you’ll throw me away now
you’ll give me some space now
i know you will
