about

About both a fleeting German back-packer, and the love of my life.

lyrics

in britain & berlin & byron / she was lonely but never alone / occasionally staying just to plug in and recharge her phone / but I was travelling ‘round in a circle / that touched her straight line on one side / I’d gotten so dizzy that I just went along for the ride / I don’t think we knew it was foolish / there’s wisdom that lies on one side / like starfish asleep we got carried away by the tide / we’d go out for drinking & dancing / we shared in a joke & a joint / did I really learn nothing from that shooting star out on the point / like if you love a leaver / then you’ll be left alright / it’s not how much you need her / or how you feel tonight / you should have known better / than to think you could change her / she said this has never been easy to do / she said it’s not me chris it’s you / you just have to be on your own for a month maybe two / she left in a cloudburst of silver / the sky was as red as a rose / somehow it’s only in songs you get exits like those / because if you love a leaver / then you’ll be left alright / it’s not how much you need her / or how you feel tonight / you’re doing a dumb thing / maybe you’re gonna learn something
