Reluctant Love - Maxïmo Park

We lie horizontal holding hands,

you converted me to many things,

it took a moment to make me see.

This time I’m not gonna wait until the winter,

I’m just gonna wait until the springtime.

I need to know how you really feel.

Waiting for your reluctant love

(hold me close and press yourself against me),

waiting for your reluctant love

(hold me close and press yourself against me).

We lie horizontal holding hands and the symmetry is all too clear.

I need to know how you really feel.

This time, I’m not gonna lose any momentum,

I’m not gonna wait until it’s midnight.

I wanna know what you think of me.

Waiting for your reluctant love (hold me close and press yourself against me),

waiting for your reluctant love (hold me close and press yourself against me).

I’m not gonna wait.

In the only picture I have, you stare at the floor,

I wish I could have given you more.

You know me, I’ll sweep away the degree.

Waiting for your reluctant love.

Waiting for your reluctant love.

Waiting for your reluctant love

(hold me close and press yourself against me, push yourself against me,

hold yourself against me)
