TROJAN HORSE

You used to take your watch off

Before we made love

You didn't want to share

Our time with anyone

 

You used to close your eyes

When we kissed goodbye

You didn't want to see me

Draped in sadness

 

And now there's nothing here

Now there's nothing here at all

In a loft conversion

Off New North Road

 

And now there's nothing here

Now there's nothing here at all

You were here, I was here

There was something real here

I know there was

 

You know I still adore you

But in a different kind of way

You know I still adore you

But things have gotten vague

Baby I don't ask for much

But things have gotten convenient, oh

You know I still adore you

But things have kind of changed

 

And to think I laughed at you

For how you saw the world

For all that empty space

Inside your heart

I have to cling to things now

Doubles and cigarettes

Forever trying to find you on the lips

Of someone else

 

You know I still adore you

But in a different kind of way

You know I still adore you

But things have gotten vague

Baby I don't ask for much

But things have gotten convenient, oh

You know I still adore you

But things have kind of changed

 

Just take me back to the start

When your earthquake was just cracks

You must ask yourself every day

Just how high are the highs?
