Belle and Sebastian I'm Waking Up to Us
I need someone to take some joy in something I do.
You need a man who is either rich or loose in a screw.
You know I love you, here's the irony.
You're going to walk away intact.
I think you never liked me anyway.
You like yourself and you like men to kiss your arse,
expensive clothes, please stop me there.
I think I'm waking up to us -
we're a disaster.
You don't want to know me
'cause you move in circles of the brave,
where art defines their lives.
She was the one love of my life, and I let her go.
And if I look like death today
then please let her know.
I never wanted to do harm to her.
I only wanted her to see
the beauty of the world surrounding her.
But when she opened up her eyes...
it's much too late,
our chance has gone,
she's with a guy
who takes the prize for everything I ever showed her,
digging all the fun
because she's older.
I fed her with a spoon,
I made her mother smile,
I helped the kid survive.
She was the one love of my life,
she showed me the road.
I loved her dog, her steady gaze, the chapter is closed.
I always wanted all the best for her.
The best thing was to stay away.
She grew up and she left the rest of us,
and now the understanding's gone.
I haven't changed, how could I?
I'm pretty much the same person.
I cannot keep the anger hidden anymore.
But lucky for you, you are not around.
My anger turns to pity and to love.
The season has arrived.
