REALLY GLAD YOU CAME

 

Although you think I'm sleeping as you get set to leave
I can see your shadow packing from underneath my sleeve
I swore I'd never live without your constant company
Tomorrow's empty bedroom would be the death of me

Times you tried to tell me, today was not our day
Would see me in a fury, or begging you to stay
When you told me there was someone else, self pity filled my mind
Mocking my assurance and leaving sense behind

I'll keep the changes to myself, no chance that you'll respond
So clear was my reflection, I couldn't see beyond
And now you'll go and maybe so, I'll always be the same
Well thanks for looking in on me, I'm really glad you came

Now there's both sets of keys on the dresser and only one pair of shoes on the floor
Of the cases on top of the cupboard - there's two where there used to be four
Some sizable gaps in the bathroom and your presence is felt all the more

Although you think I'm sleeping as you get ready to leave
I can see your shadow packing from underneath my sleeve
And there you go and yes I know, I'll always be the same
Well thanks for looking in on me - I'm really glad you came
'Cos it was good, wasn't it?

 

(YOU'RE MY) INSPIRATION


Darling (yes, darling?)
Nothing, darling
Just darling, darling

You're my inspiration, so welcome to my heart
Since making your acquaintance I've made a brand new start
I'm telling you I love you, what else can I say?
'Cos you're my inspiration in every single way

You're always optimistic, you never be blasé
And when I'm in a moody you make it go away
I've never had a minute of horrible jealousy, jealousy
Anyone that you like will be okay with me

'Cos you're my inspiration, my reason and my rhyme
From the first impressions until the end of time
I'm telling you I love you, what else can I say?
'Cos you're my inspiration in every single way

Well darling, that just about sums things up
And I'm sure you know by now, I think you're very special
So (lower darling) So..... snarling darling? (stop it pet), alright

(Inspiration)

You're my inspiration, my reason and my rhyme
From the first impressions until the end of time
I'm telling you I love you, what else can I say?
'Cos you're my inspiration in every single way

(Inspiration)

Since making your acquaintance (inspiration) the world's a better place (inspiration)
Your confidence is catching (inspiration) I can feel it in my face (inspiration)
It's almost out of order (inspiration) so beautiful with you (inspiration)
I'm going to do my utmost (inspiration) to make it all stay cool (inspiration)

'Cos you're my inspiration (inspiration, inspiration)
You're my inspiration (inspiration, inspiration)
You're my inspiration (inspiration, inspiration)
