3 words

The wood has been here longer than both of us
The old stale lingering smell
The cute little gift shop has almost had its day
I've only been there once and i already know it well

The dust is more than ready unlike us
Its flying low beneath our feet
Up the lazy stairwell to conclude the fairytale
I know that i'm hungry but i know i cant eat

CHORUS

The simple stuff gets harder, tender is rough
I burn below my wick cos i cant take enough
3 words is all your asking of me
The kinda shit they say in Mills and Boon
But your asking me 3 emotions too soon...

The pictures are ageing unlike us
We've still got youth on our side
I was surprised to see a pair of nikes walking through town
But i guess they got in from outside

Some woman enquired about both of us
I responded with "..still early days.."
Her dog looked at me like he knew we were more than just friends in more than just a phase...

CHORUS

There's books and stories 60 years older than us put together
The flowers are dying but oh im still trying not to blame it on the weather
The piano keys got more prints than we've got
Many songs for many celebrations
I stand next to you as some ghost passes through to another neglected location

CHORUS

You see i've never been angry with you yet
And i dont know how your gonna react?
I aint had no suspicious feelings
I've honestly got to see the way you'll deal with me
When i cry and laugh and joke about the hair on your back until then its these 3 words i'll lack

I love you but i cant underestimate the power thats spoken in words
The cute little gift shop's almost had its day
I've only been there once and that was yesterday

I need more dust! Need more stories to tell!
Need more trust to let my penny drop in your well...
Hell...i just want everything! Maybe thats true?
But to have everything means to just have you..

And as the simple stuff gets harder, tender is rough
I'll burn above my wick cos i've got just enough
3 words is all you want from me
The kinda shit they say in Mills and Boon
But i'll be 3 emotions ahead of you
When i sit you down and say the words
'I love you' xxx
