The Book Club Sir Walter lyrics

She said oh, I've called you fourteen times,
I said oh oh oh, I didn't realise,
She said when on earth will you get home?
And I'm thinking woah oh oh, just leave me alone.

She just can't stand to be lonely,
And I quite like being alone,
And the closer she pulls me,
The more that my mind wants to roam.

Ah I didn't tell you 'cause I knew that you'd disapprove,
Quarter past four and then more and still no word,
Now the morning is breaking and the key is forced upside down,
And I didn't want to knock but this lock is being stubborn and cruel.

And I've been desperately thinking upon my way home,
Of the perfect excuse to extend my parole,
Now the castle is sinking,
Because it's not made of stone.


I make promises that I can't keep,
And then I kiss her on the forehead,
While she sleeps,
I make promises.

'Cause she just can't stand to be lonely,
And I quite like being alone,
But the closer she pulls me,
The more that my mind wants to roam.

I make promises that I can't keep,
And then I kiss her on the forehead,
While she sleeps,
I make promises.
