Patchwork - Tindersticks

I know it’s wrong

I know it’s selfish

It’s such a short life

With so little time

You know this pattern

Patchwork of any direction

Cobbled together

In odd shape and size

Take my hand, we’ll walk through this together

But my hand gets sweaty

You somehow slip away

Try to call you, but I don’t call too loud, no

Try to love, and never look that hard

Cos this blue’s a swirling ocean

The green: the ambition

The red is the guilt

There’s a lot of red

I know it’s wrong

I know it’s selfish

It’s such a short life

So little time

Try to call you, but I don’t call too loud, no

Try to love, and never look that hard

Cos this blue’s a swirling ocean

The yellow is my sunshine

Comes out on odd occasion

Barely enough to keep you around
