Warehouse - Maxïmo Park

You look up

With surprise on your face

The lamplight

Throws familiar shapes

Right and wrong

A fake partition wall

A slim hope

At the root of it all

How could I forget your name and your reputation?

How could I gauge how you felt with no indication?

I don’t care what we’ve been through

I can’t sleep without music

I feel strangled when I’m with you

The days are stacking up slowly

Life is a warehouse as much as anything else

Life is a warehouse as much as anything else

So little left unsaid

Just the important things

You were the engineer

Of thoughts that I can’t control

It’s a conversation that’s just been waiting

You thought that I was a hardback kind of guy

But paperback books are all that I ever buy

I don’t care what we’ve been through

I can’t sleep without music

I feel strangled when I’m with you

The days are stacking up slowly

Life is a warehouse as much as anything else

Life is a warehouse as much as anything else

I don’t care what we’ve been through
