Nothing Clever

Your house near 8 South

I don't remember right but I think that we were high

My mouth near your mouth

Working out if we’re aloud to say the things we feel out loud

You wanted me to go first

You waited for me to speak

It's nothing clever

It was the simplest thing

Just a terrified kid

Once he had what he needed

Your skin on my skin

Just feeling you breathing

That was five years ago

It was nearly the spring

That was five years ago

It was nearly the spring

And now we've calmed down

I guess we’re getting older

But I still want to hold you

You moved out from 8 South

Now I don't drive to see you I could just whisper in your ear

Are we doing alright?

Now we don't say it all the time

It's nothing clever

Was the simplest thing

Just a terrified kid

Once he had what he needed

Your skin on my skin

Just feeling you breathing

That was five years ago

It was nearly the spring

That was five years ago

It was nearly the spring

We started this thing on fire

Now we're a quiet glow

It's not like there's no desire

Just so much more we know

It's nothing clever

Was the simplest thing

Just a terrified kid

Once he had what he needed

Your skin on my skin

I miss the way you breathe

That was five years ago

It was nearly the spring

That was five years ago

It was nearly the spring
