Coming Second - elbow

Found a hole and slipped on through

Kissed the stone and learnt the lines

Jumped the cue all the time forgetting you

Best dishevelled lover 3 years running

Coming second to

A picket fence white 9-to-5 who’s

Just alive

Beyond repair, there is nothing to say

Save some fading regrets

Yet I can’t be without this

Beyond repair, there is nothing to say

Save some fading regrets

Yet…

I need you to be

(to be around)

I need you to be

(to be around)

I want you to say

(you'll be around)

I need you to be

(to be around)

Spit-shone lies, juggled debts

Planted flags and made regrets

Muddled through all the time

Forgetting you

Cut your teeth and breezed on to

Another brothers fickle ways

So why amazed when it don’t

Come out your way

Beyond repair, there is nothing to say

Save some fading regrets

Yet I can’t be without this

Beyond repair, there is nothing to say

Save some fading regrets

Yet…

I need you to be

(to be around)

I need you to be

(to be around)

I want you to say

(you'll be around)

I need you to be

(to be around)
