Verse
Friday night outside the Grand , a wedding disco band
play boogie wonderland
In the darkness by the sea, the guys are smokin’ weed,
huddled from the breeze
Chorus
If you’re still waiting for the winter, then you already missed her
And she’s not coming back again
Yeah I heard that she’s Ok, still a world away
Were you hoping for the rain?
Verse
Left my shirt down on the beach, torn into pieces
Thrown into the sea
Wore your jacket to the club, I guess you’d call it love
I guess you’d call it love
Chorus
If you’re still waiting for the winter, then you already missed her
And she’s never coming back again
Yeah I heard that she’s Ok, still a world away
Were you hoping for the rain?
Verse
After hours outside the zap, no money for a cab
No money for a cab
Could you please now move along, I wish I was that strong
I wish I was that strong
Chorus x 2
If you’re still waiting for the winter, then you already missed her
And she’s never coming back again
Yeah I heard that she’s Ok, still a world away
Were you hoping for the rain?
I felt the coming of the winter, my heart began to shiver
Cos we’re never coming back again
We’re already on our way, half a world away
never coming back again

Verse: C9, D, Bm7, Em7, Am7, D7, G, B7
Why so unsure?
Oh if you saw
Yourself in my eyes on that day you'd know
Confidence bare
Talent to spare
As you shared a joke on boundary rope
White shirt and tan
And the ball in hand
Waiting out on the square
With a smiling stare
The last man in didn’t see a thing
As you cried with your arms stretched out wide
Tell me true, how did I do?
Did I pass the test in your eyes?
All said and done
Was I the one?
You have chosen, if you had your time
Oh, BN3 wasn’t in my dreams
When I found
you that night
dancing on you own
Out on the floor,
swigging Le Piat d’Or
And your arms out wide to the world

Verse
Tick-a-tick-a time bomb ticking in my heart
Ticked a little louder when we were apart
Tell me that it’s all right, how I got it wrong
Tick-a-tick-a time bomb ticking all along
Chorus
Could you help me to remember why you fell in love with me?
‘Cos I’m starting to forget her, and she’s getting hard to see
Intro
Verse
Come-a-come around now come-a-come-a down
Stay a little longer, stick-a-stick around
Come a little closer, come and calm me down
Wait until morning, comes-a-comes around
Chorus
Could you help me to remember why you fell in love with me?
Through the darkness of December, through the cold of February
Intro
Verse
Flicking through the pages of an NME
Found a photograph of you beside the sea
Early in the evening sunlight in you eyes
Tell me was it easy? Love and compromise
Chorus
Could you help me to remember how you fell in love with me?
Through the darkness of December, through the cold of February
Sit beside me at the water, where the Cuckmere meets the sea
No it’s not the Mississippi, but it’s good enough for me
No it’s not the Mississippi, but it’s heavenly to me

Verse
My taxi arrives, and I step inside
Quietly close the door, he’s out of my life
The rain on the screen and the lamplight that screams
“Take me back to his arms” but this time I leave
Middle
How do you stop yourself from loving someone?
How do you tear yourself away from someone
When you know that it’s done
Verse
The triumphant nights, in soft café light
Walking the streets at midnight, high as a kite
We wake in the day, and he whispers my name
Try to forget the future, swallow the pain
Middle
How do you stop yourself from loving someone?
How do you tear yourself away from someone
When you know that it’s done
Verse
He still makes me smile with his terrible style
Nobody cared to mention, nobody cared
Verse
I fled his decline with a heart still aligned
Three hundred miles away the night that he died
Alone in the dark, synapses spark
Dreams of the melodies that flow to my heart
