[verse 1]

Here we are ju

st trying to b

e flatmates

Here we are ju

st trying to s

ophisticate

Be an adult, t

rying not to f

all in love

Be a human, tr

ying not to st

and up

Here we are ju

st trying to b

e neighbors

You in bed, me

 still with th

e painters

Smoking at the

 window, at th

e magpies

Trying to work

 out what's th

e truth and
             
what's the lie

  


I'm not saying

 that we will 

be best friend

s

But I took you

 dancing at th

e weekend

Tell your folk

s in bed you h

ad to play
     
I'll try to ma

ke you feel li

ke the kids ar

e playing pret

end


I'm not saying

 that we can't

 be running ma

tes

You run too fa

st for me, I t

ry to keep the

 pace
             
What I lack in

              
 speed I make 

              
up for in the 

 
way I move my 

hips

              
And the way th

              
e sun comes ou

          
t when I move 

my lips
       
So you won't w

ant to miss
         
All the shapes

 that can make
            
It's a choice 

             
you want to ta

Here we are ju

Oh, here we ar

e just trying 

not to

Fall in love
          
It's only huma

n not to want 

to be alone

Here we are ju

st trying to b

e

Oh, here we ar

e just trying 

not to
             
Get too close

[outro]

I'm not saying

 that we can't

 be dreamers

Here we are ju

st trying to b

We can lie awa

Forget the tru

For the moment
