Calm

Maximo Park

How many words did you come up with today? 
How many words do you want to hear tonight? 
You flare up but beneath lies defeat. 
I see your eyes now and they are calm. 

I've answered enough phones for one life 
I've worn too many ties around my neck 

I wake up and I find a trace of you there. 
So sullen 
Your words haunt the air 
I wake up and I find a trace of you there. 
So sullen 

Taking long walks in perfect silence. 
Joined together in useless harmony. 
Your hard breath means that you're upset. 
An overheated Northwest bliss. 

But I've answered enough phones for one life 
I've worn too many ties around my neck 

Just wait and see. 
I don't know much about bravery 
But I'll raise you up with my bad jokes and loose promises. 
She said to think of her when I'm alone 
But I'm never alone 
When I want to be. 

I wake up and I find a trace of you there. 
So sullen 
Your words haunt the air 
I wake up and I find a trace of you there. 
So sullen 
Your words haunt the air 
Your words haunt the air
