Just give me one fine day of plain sailing weather
And I can $#&@ up anything, anything
It was a wonderful life when we were together

And now I've $#&@ed up every little !@#$ thing

Amelie lied to me, this was supposed to be easy

I found the one damn person to help me fall asleep in the night
But sleeping gets tiring, and dark reminds me of dying
And as long as this feeble heart is still beating

You will find me rushing through every room, switching on all the lights

The problem with falling in love in late bars

Is that there's always more nights, there's always more bars
The problem with showing your lover your scars
Is that everybody's lover is covered in scars


Things got fractious, and I felt faithless
At that moment just before the dawn when everything falls apart

But baby I didn't mean it, for things to get desperate
I let slip my guard, let go of the rudder
Now we're drifting in the current away from one another


So give me one fine day of plain sailing weather
And I can $#&@ up anything, anything

It was a wonderful life when we were together
And now I've $#&@ed up every little !@#$ thing
Every little !@#$ thing


I've been skirting round the rim of doing something
Brave, and not just standing, but jumping in

Of making circles into squares, of laying down
The bare facts like a burden I can't bear
And I can almost find the words, but I can see the way you'd

Fold your hands, speak my name like a curse
Upon your pretty lips, the pressured white behind your fingertips


And when you see me for all that I am
I couldn't make mistakes to make a difference any more
I'd throw myself down on my knees, at your hands

And beg you for forgiveness for my $#&@ups and my faults
And maybe you'd relent and return my hope for our forever
Lift up your precious hands, and then bring yours and mine together

So just give me one fine day of plain sailing weather.
