I'm Waking Up To Us

Belle And Sebastian · Other Songs - Belle And Sebastian

i need someone to take some joy in something i do

you need a man who's either rich or losing a screw

you know i love you here's the irony

you're going to walk away intact

i think you never liked me anyway

you like yourself and you like

men to kiss your arse

expensive clothes

please stop me there

i think i'm waking up to us

we're a disaster

you don't want to know me

'cause you move in circles of the brave

where art defines their lives



she was the one love of my life, and i let her go

and if i look like death today,

then please let her know

i never wanted to do harm to her

i only wanted her to see

the beauty of the world surrounding her

but when she opened up her eyes

it's much too late

our chance has gone

she's with a guy

who takes the price for everything i ever showed her

digging all the fun

because she's older

i fed her with a spoon

i made her mother smile

i helped the kid survive



she was the one love of my life,

she showed me the road

i loved her dog, her steady gaze, the chapter is closed

i always wanted all the best for her

the best thing was to stay away

she grew up and she left the rest of us

and now the understanding's gone

i haven't changed, how could i?

i'm pretty much the same person

i cannot keep the anger hidden anymore

but lucky for you, you are not around

my anger turns to pity and to love

the season has arrived
