Wrapped Up In Books

Belle And Sebastian · Dear Catastrophe Waitress [2003]

It was pretty bright upon the rainbow bridge tonight

I could see into your window although you're far away

You were racing in a car beside a boy you just don't know

If he is up for what you have in mind

If he is up for what you have in mind



Change is on the cards but this time it will be hard

I never want to leave you we've never had a fight

You should never split a book you should never split at all

I wish I had to, as I could follow

I write the ending without any sorrow



I will say a prayer just while you are sitting there

And I will wrap my arms around you cause I know it will be fine

We've got a fantasy affair, we didn't get wet, we didn't dare

Our aspirations, are wrapped up in books

Our inclinations, are hidden in looks



Summers hastening on, trying to get a feeling from the city

But I've been unfaithful, I've been traveling abroad

We've got a fantasy affair, we didn't get wet, we didn't dare

But the fantasy remains, you better come back to love again

Our aspirations, wrapped up in books

Our inclinations, hidden in looks
