You waste my time like you do your change
you say its useless and my days are the same
we've got the same habits
you count your bills i count my minutes
i want some affection and i need some attention
pick up your phone, put me on hold, teach me a lesson
well all my friends they tell me to stay free
but away from you is the last place on earth i want to be
when i think about you when i write and when i sleep
so please when you break my heart, just leave me
'cos you going away is the last thing i need to see
tonight i'm leaving your house and i'm sitting in my car
in my mind i'm looking back to the day that we threw rocks against the shed
they hit with a sound just like the thunder thats overhead
it looks as if someone has painted the bottom of these clouds
a yellow i can't mix, and a way up that has yet to be found
my headlights hit the reflectors in the road and the beams shoot straight up towards the sky
its a cold winters night, just like this, with thoughts of you, that keep me alive.
