Songs For Polarbears lyrics

Her gravity makes me feel light-headed
small-talk turns to dust in my mouth
she doesn't know that I'm already
thinking bout how I'm gonna make her look my way

But she smiles at herself in mirrors
a little too often these days
maybe I'm unbalanced
The way she walks my god she'd get it
all my friends reckon she is oh so fine
but the way I talk when I'm speaking near her

when summer falls asleep
and winter plucks your strings
the colder that you get
makes you feel at home

build it up, tear it down, throw it out

if i come round there now
would you be pleased to see me
i wouldn't make much noise
just whimper to myself

build it up, tear it down, throw it out

my head hurts more each time
the drinking strangles me
believe in god, like hell!

You could get arrested for
Getting your kit off in the street
How many times have I told you
It's not polite to meet and greet
We'll get you home and wash you up
In a bath of cold coffee
I only do this cause I love you
And you can make things easier
Didn't you hear me when I said
Not to do this anymore
I've had enough it's got to stop
Or I will leave you then we'll see

you're my favourite friend
and i adore you
love you to the end
no one hears a word you say

you're my favourite friend
we rule the world together
with our secret codes
and plans we can't remember

from now on, must be strong
my favourite friend

you're my favourite friend
when i need you
and when i don't as well
of course you miss me being around

you're my favourite friend
but i'm older now

I'm good for inspiration aren't I You will find
Well close the door and I'll go anywhere
You take me to from this bed onto so much more
Care for you I will

Can I have a picture of you tonight
Keep it with me always in my mind

Touch me cause I can't move
I can barely breathe speechless, breathless
I can't tell you if I'm here or not
Running both legs tied together
Arms in the air

Cut my eyes out dear
So I can't see your smug grin
You're right you always win
Untie my hands now
I'm game up to a point
And we're well past bedtime now

All this time away
An' I'm freezing cold now

I try hard not to laugh
As she trips up on the step
And her look turns me to stone
I'm closer to the truth
She hates being on her own
But fuck her I'm leaving tonight
Why should I live this way

I wish I had a penny for
Every time she gave me those eyes
Those eyes would cry take me on the floor

I've been with her once or twice
In my dreams it felt so nice
I'd do exactly what those eyes told me

There's never a smile on your face
Always a gesture of disgrace
Obviously you're unhappy with my

Stares that I hold far too long
Of course I know that it is wrong

I could help myself to something
Like a little bit of revelation
You could be the one to help me help myself

Maybe if I could see exactly what
Was in your way I'd move it for you
Don't always need to do it by yourself

I'm not trying to find a way to get in your bed
I'll just sing for you
Until you fall asleep then I will go

I never understood how you should feel

If I could understand this better
I might be a little closer to you
Brushing my face with her hair
As she pushes past towards the door

That's a little ticklish but please just don't stop

She's probably heard this a million time before
The sweep of her brush is like a gentle lick
It seems to make her like everything you want
Cause if you didn't you'd want her soon enough

I haven't left here yet, but I'm trying
I'm still tied to the bed, can you come here
When you come would you please bring a knife
And cue me down
Cause she is larger than life and I'm frightened

Andrew's a star fighter pilot
He can get high in his jet
Tells me about all his women
He can get any I'll bet

Andrew's a star fighter pilot
He knows all the girls in the world
He's better than James kirk tweaking
I cradle his picture at night

You know I'll think of you
Your picture on the wall
I would raise my drink to you
But I'll stay sober just for you

take her home
take her past this evening

i'm not sure
sure if i believe you

you carry a gun for fun
you use it twice as easy

i'm sure she is
she is someone's daughter

i couldn't even feel that it was wrapped around my head

i don't know what she's done
i don't even want to think about it

she was beautiful
the prettiest girl i've ever seen

i saw everything
things i hoped i'd never see

Oh velocity girl
What makes you go so fast
Is it the speed you're taking
Since you gave up the drinkin'

Oh velocity girl
I can't keep up with you
Can't stand to be alone
Think you should be with me

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

Just wanna stay here in your arms

Oh velocity girl
Try hard to stop it
Understand me when I say
Please don't leave today

Oh velocity girl
Don't know what I'm thinking
