If I dont know, I cant understand.
ll get the drinks when you give me back my hand.
You know Im not that bothered,
We dont have to stay - its already been an eventful day.
There is nothing that could ever be above you.
Theres not much I could ever do.
We had a laugh at dinner and I thought you seemed fine.
Just blame the hormones and too much red wine.
It wont be the last and its not like its a first.
Just make something up,
cause I always feel the worst.
There is nothing that could ever be above you
Theres not much I could ever do.
