The Distractions The Summer I Met You lyrics

There was this film I saw by chance
In black and white and set in France
They showed it on late night TV
The actors looked like you and me
I couldn't stand to watch the end
I found it easier to pretend
That things would work out like they should
Which didn't do me any good

The summer I met you, you looked so beautiful
That trying to forget you didn't seem logical
But you saw right through me when you looked in my eyes
And saw I had nothing to offer but lies

I'd have to say that all it took
Was your strange neurotic look
You know I really didn't care
You didn't need some quick affair

I didn't care that you were haunted
It only mattered what I wanted
That's how it was when I was younger
I only felt my body's hunger

You know there isn't any point in me pretending
You know I never was much good with endings

The summer I met you, you looked so beautiful
That trying to forget you didn't seem logical
But you saw right through me when you looked in my eyes
And saw I had nothing to offer but lies
But you saw right through me when you looked in my eyes
And saw I had nothing to offer but lies
