I know you're writing a song

I know you’re writing a song in your head right now



Its late afternoon and you’re leaving me soon

This ‘holiday romance’ drawing to a close

We’re faced with goodbyes and its no real surprise

That we’re lying here silently, wondering if our confusion shows



Back to the beginning, I thought willpower was winning

But whatever this is, it seems stronger than us

Your hand holding mine blurs that well trodden line

Between friendship and kissing, camaraderie and lust



In our private realm of whispers and kisses

Secrets are shared and stories are told

We impart wisdom and deepest dark wishes

Forgetting the time when our feelings were cold



We kid ourselves this could be more than just sex

When we know we’re just using feelings from before

The painful reality is, you are my ex

And it’s not good for us to be back here once more



I can tell by your silence just what’s on your mind

Conflicting emotions, you want this, but don’t

Promises of better behaviour, we’ll be friends of some kind

We say we’ll behave, still knowing we won’t



Our friends feign surprise when they learn of our actions

The tangled old saga they’ve all heard before

But still we persist, regardless of their reactions

Complying as long as the other wants more



And I know it won’t stop until someone gets hurt

Our circle of friends disrupted once more

So baby, please get up and put on your shirt

And don’t turn around as you walk out the door
