An Unknown - Maxïmo Park

Here we are all in the same room

Smiling uncomfortably

I’m unreachable in this state

The fan sounds like an insect

Up close with clattering wings

I’ll be deafened at this rate

I might as well not exist

Couldn’t you have picked an unknown?

I can’t be your friend

‘Cause I want everything

Go, please go

Watching events unfold

Between you both

Go, Go

I don’t want to watch this scene unfold

The more this car vibrates

The sooner it will fall apart

Shouldn’t everything hit the mark?

Eye contact became a task

But I wasn’t trying to hurt you

Couldn’t you have picked an unknown?

I can’t be your friend

‘Cause I want everything

Go, please go

Watching events unfold

Between you both

Go, Go

I don’t want to watch this scene unfold
