about
This was written a long, long time ago in a country far, far away. It's about exactly what you think it's about. The guitar solo is played by the exceptional Rick White, long-time friend and one third of the mighty Echochamber
lyrics
Not quite sure where I'm going
But I'll go there anyway
With those eyes fixed on mine
I think I'll stay here for today
Two good reasons to stay put
And lots more later on
I don't need a song to tell me
She is not the one
I was looking for that one thing
'til I got a wake up call
From this girl I knew
Who showed me what was true
Yeah she could do it all
You see I, I never thought I'd be casual
I never thought I'd be playing cool
But I'm happy when you smile at me and go
I never thought I'd hear those things said
I thought I'd see that in a film instead
But I'm happy when you're putting on a show
I never thought I would walk you home
Make sure you do not sleep alone
And be happy just to smile at you and go
Call me what you want just don't call me the next day
I love you here and now the outside world has gone away
In the morning light we'll see that this could never last
And as that sweet sorrow descends it would be nice to have some breakfast
I might not get the banter right
I might say the wrong things in the night
And somewhere deep beneath the covers
You might not be just any other
But I, I never thought I'd be casual
I never thought I'd be playing cool
But I'm happy when you smile at me and go
I never thought I'd hear those things said
I thought I'd see that in a film instead
But I'm happy when you're putting on a show
I never thought I would walk you home
Make sure you do not sleep alone
And be happy just to smile at you and go
