lyrics

White wash walls, dirty knees
He’s smoking fags
Like it’s the 70s

He pulls her down
His elodie, she’s all dressed up
In cheap jewellery

In his room
she never really understood
the difference between
something else and
something good

In his hands
she never really understood
that this couldn't have been
further from real love.

Who can forsee
All the pain
She's letting in
smashed her phone, cursed her name
and bruised her chin.

Oh my love my love,
I wish I had the strength to run so far from you
Thumb wars in the sun was the only game we should have played
Cause things could be different
If i had the strength to run so far from you
If that was all it was maybe things could have changed

Berlin wall,
broken down she,
all the shame and the ecstasy
She feels worthless
on the train back to the city,
never understood that she could be set free.

So shut the door, heighten insecurity,
she'll fight herself, swallow all the purity
colour blind to the blossoms and the scenery
cause everything adds into the circuitry

Cause in his room she never really understood
the difference between something else and something good
on the train she screamed into oblivion, with frustration of the feeling
that she found within.

Oh my love my love,
I wish I had the strength to run so far from you
Thumb wars in the sun was the only game we should have played
Cause things could be different
If i had the strength to run so far from you
If that was all it was maybe things could have changed
