lyrics

A face drawn on an egg, in a creaking bed, on creaking floorboards, above a restaurant.

But we can eat for free I got a deal with the owner, I clean the stairs and hoover the sofas, just last week I found a chess piece, hair grease, and some vitamin pills.

So pick anything you like, I'll eat you with my eyes, your lips look redder than mine, the way the light is.

You said you ride a motorbike but you don't wear a helmet. I said that sounds pretty stupid, you said it helps you evaluate your life, so I said:

I see my breath when I wake up on a winter's morning and I'd like to see your breath too.

A design mopped in the floor, a mosaic of soap, turns grey and elopes into the gutter.

But try and guess what I've drawn before the bubbles burst, you said you know what it is but you don't know the words, it looks a bit like wisdom with a rabbit's head, I said that's correct.

You said your favourite time to walk is the middle of the night, I said let's go out right now and break some streetlights.

The echoes in these roads are really astounding, when there aren't any cars you can hear your heart pounding, every beat ricocheting into space, I turn to you and say:

I see my breath when I wake up on a winter's morning and I'd like to see your breath too.

A spider spins her web around the last of my bed posts, and now she's feeling pretty lost because there's nowhere else to go.

The tap keeps drip-dripping, you get used to the sound, and anyway come morning the cars have blocked it out.

So let's go out for breakfast, lie down in a park, sun ourselves like lizards so we've got energy come dark.

And that chair in the corner is where I write all my songs, you said you'd really like to hear one, I said only if you sing along.

It goes like this:

I see my breath when I wake up on a winter's morning and I'd like to see your breath too.
