Throw the keys into the bowl and
gather letters off the hallway floor
It's just another summer night indoors
Looking for a sign of your
familiar writing like the day before
Among the bills and local taxi firms
A picture postcard from Berlin
you say you're fine you're made some friends
You just need a bit of time to
get your head straight
I've heard it all before I've read these words
so many times it doesn't really scare me
I pin it to the kitchen cupboard door
It makes no difference what you say or
how long you will stay away this time
But can I make a suggestion
Don't think I cannot read between the lines
I've won this game a hundred times
I've got the gold the silver and the bronze
Love is the stick you throw however far it
goes you'll find your way back home again
Don't think I cannot read between the lines
I've won this game a hundred times
I've got the gold the silver and the bronze
Throw the keys into the bowl
and gather letters off the hallway floor
It's just another summer night indoors
