lyrics

We haven’t seen the swimming pool for years now
The sky seems permanently thick with grey cloud
And if we held on for the sun we’d be waiting for a lifetime
So we’ve left the leaves to tattoo all the tiles

I covered the machine with some tarpaulin
More than once I’ve slipped and nearly fell in
And I can see it in my mind’s eye, my hands out to break my fall
But it’s too late, and my blood splashes up the plastic, up the walls

Well they can take it, or they can leave it
but their dollar store advice, they can keep it
cos I’m gonna fix it
I’m gonna fix it

Spiral notebooks filled with my graffiti
I ask Marianne if she understands she says “not really”
But she says she sees synapses firing in my brain
And if she doesn’t, well I still know she loves me dearly

Because when she was on my motorcycle sim
She said the fake wind through her hair, it was convincing
And so was the way the sunset pixels bled on the horizon
That’s when I knew that I was onto something

Well they can take it, or they can leave it
but their dollar store advice, they can keep it
cos I’m gonna fix it
I’m gonna fix it
I’m gonna fix it
