The tide came in and nearly buried us here
but we saw things like they wouldn’t believe
you hear a lot of stories about love and romance
but i swear nothing quite like you and me

and every scar sits like a marker
every line on the face is a small souvenir
of all the places be they good or be they bad
that we stopped into on the journey to here

so maybe i lost my sense of direction
but im alright now
every man needs a little affection
and im alright now

and there were times when yes alright i confess
i did things of which i am not proud
everybody wades through the same coloured shit
but it doesn’t drag everyone down

and i was stupid i was insensitive
i was all the things i promised i never would be
ive seen a lot of foolish behaviour in my time
but tell you theyve got nothing on me

so maybe i lost my sense of direction
but i’m alright now
every man needs a little affection
so im alright now
give me strength give me something to believe in
and im alright now
sing along when your hearts finished bleeding
yes im alright now

another evening of sublime self-destruction
to the tune of 1000 cigarettes
where every nail thats hammered into your spirit
well it wasnt able to sink you just yet

and television is just some weak anaesthetic
to numb the senses til you’re out like a light
like all these drugs they seem to promise you the earth
but then they dont keep you warm in the night

so maybe i lost my sense of direction
but im alright now
every man needs a little affection
so im alright now
give me strength give me something to believe in
and im alright now
sing along when your hearts finished bleeding
yes im alright now

its like i cannot sleep for dreaming
this is everything i could have possibly hoped it would be
a lot of stories will end happy ever after
but i swear nothing quite like you and me
