Words - Passenger

Well the first time that I saw her

Standing in the middle of the road

Eyes as bright as Christmas lights

Wearing someone else’s clothes

I did my best to ignore her

But ignoring my best pretty soon

We spent the night all tangled tight

In an armchair in my friend’s front room

I said darling you know, darling you know I can’t stay

'Cos I’ve given my heart and my word to a girl far away

I felt weak as she kissed my cheek, and sighed when I heard her say

«Never knew I could get my heart broken in less than a day»

Oh and the next time that I saw her

Must have been a year or more

Face stained with mascara

Shiverin' outside my door

I did my best to assure her

But assurance isn’t easy to give

If you’ve never been sure of anything much

You get less so the longer you live

She said «darling, you know, darling, you know I can’t stay

'Cos I’ve given my heart and my word to a boy far away»

I spoke soft and pretended to cough, like I didn’t care either way

Never knew I could get my heart broken, in so many ways

And the last time that I saw her

Standing in the pouring rain

Hair a little shorter

But everything else looked the same

I could’a told her that I adored her

She could’a said she felt the same way

But we just smiled 'cos sometimes words

Aren’t the right words to say

We just smiled 'cos sometimes words

Aren’t the right words to say
