about

I wrote the first verse to this song and decided it would be perfect for the "Out of Here" EP, and started recorded it right there and then. So it was a pretty organic recording experience, the song grew as the recording did, I wrote it section by section and recorded it as I went too. Then went back on anything I felt wasn't up to scratch. This is probably my favourite song of the five to listen back to.

lyrics

How do I tell her, how much that I want her?
All her friends try to show her, that she could do better than me.
She thinks I'm complicated, I say "its underrated, I know that you can take me"
She sighs "let me take a minute", though her smile lets me know I'm winning
Her eyes say all I need to hear

Though she could do better,
I know that we were better than anything she'd ever had
I won't regret it no, because I read what she said
I read it her love letters
I read her love letters

Well she makes it easy, a ship on the sea when it's breezy
I think I found what I'm looking for, you know I wouldn't change it for any more
Well she says that "we're going steady"
I say that "I've been ready, for this for so long now"
I don't think that I even knew, of all the guys standing in the queue
That I even had a chance with her

Though she could do better,
I know that we were better than anything she'd ever had
I won't regret it no, because I read what she said
Though she could do better,
I know that we were better than anything she'd ever had
I won't regret it no, because I read what she said

Though she could do better,
We're the best thing she ever had,
And all she ever wanted was me,
way too much to ask

But when it's dark and you call and its pouring down with rain
I can be there I can share your pain
With all these burdens that I bear, no I'll never be the same
You should've stayed you should've stayed
Who's gonna be the one waiting at your door
When you're cold and you're lost, that was me before
Who's gonna be the one that you've been waiting for
You should've stayed, you should've stayed

Though she could do better,
I know that we were better than anything she'd ever had
I won't regret it no, because I read what she said
Though she could do better,
I know that we were better than anything she'd ever had
I won't regret it no, because I read what she said
I read her love letters
