lyrics

Don't want to think about the implications
Of what they're putting in the water
A thousand miles away.
Are these unnecessary complications
Or does it really matter?
It sounds unkind to say that

You don't even try
To find another way round
How you justify
All the old familiar ways

Well it's a reasonable explanation
As sound as any other.
Too tired to explain
Another throwback conversation,
Another ripple in the water
Too high from all the rain

You don't even try
To find another way round
There's no compromise
All the old familiar ways

Still trying to forget you
A thousand times a day
I asked her if she missed you
She laughed and turned away
It's partly the emotion
It's part of the display
You're drunk and you're immortal
A tried and tired play

You don't even try
To find another way round
There's no compromise
All the old familiar ways
