Belle & Sebastian I'm Waking Up To Us lyrics

I need someone to take some joy in something I do
You need a man, who's either rich or losing 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
