Bears In Trees - If I Just Ask Politely

you tell me you're going to church in the morning
i'm sitting in the bathtub
letting it all sink in
I wake up on a sofa
I walk out to your balcony
and wonder if East Croydon would ever stop me
if i just asked politely
i know these walls would lean in to guide me
to greatness or some greater fixation
i used to glue my sutures in a Sainsbury's basement
teardrunk on the floor
we felt ageless and endless
you were my drunken salvation
and nothing really changes just the faces and the spaces
where our fingers interlock
breathe it in, we pass it on
as we stare over this great, endless perhaps
our hearts beat a rhythm that my lungs cannot match
someone's crying in the hall but I don't really understand
what turns a night from tragic to a song sung by the wedding band
we felt ageless and endless
you were my drunken salvation
and nothing really changes just the faces and the spaces
where our fingers interlock
breathe it in, we pass it on
as we stare over this great, endless perhaps
our hearts beat a rhythm that my lungs cannot match
we wax lyrical in late December freezing cold
crouched around a campfire
but I always
wake up on your sofa
and walk out to your balcony ...
and wonder if East Croydon would ever stop me
if i just asked politely
