Bright Light Bright Light - I Wish We Were Leaving

I wish we were leaving, I wish we were in somebody's car
Going faster then we'd get home and that would be enough.
I'd look at the ceiling and feel like I was in somebody's arms
Who really loved me, but we won't get that far
Cos you've got your eyes set on something that I don't see.
Whenever you smile it's for something that I don't feel.
And one day you'll be so good for somebody, for somebody.
And one day you'll make somebody so happy but it won't be me.
Small talk, big nights, so many signs you're not alright
Going faster than you wanted because it's not enough.
So tired of believing that love's going to get you through the night.
There's no laughter when you take things this far.
Cos you've got your eyes set on something that I don't see.
Whenever you smile it's for something that I don't feel.
And one day you'll be so good for somebody, for somebody.
And one day you'll make somebody so happy but it won't be me.
You'll be turning their grey skies blue like I'd do for you if you'd only let me.
You'll be dreaming and by your side there'll be two blue eyes where I wanted to be
But don't feel so deflated, these things happen. Timing fails us all.
It isn't your fault, so don't look back you don't need to explain
Cos you've got your eyes set on something that I don't see.
Whenever you smile it's for something that I don't feel.
And one day you'll be so good for somebody, for somebody.
And one day you'll make somebody so happy but it won't be me.
One day you'll make somebody so happy."
