Belle and Sebastian I'm Waking Up to Us song lyrics

I need someone to take some joy and something I do

You need a man who's either rich or losing a screw

You know I love you, here's the irony

You're going to walk away intact

I think you never liked me anyway

You like yourself and you like

Men to kiss your arse

Expensive clothes, please stop me there

I think I'm waking up to us, we're a disaster

You don't want to know me

'Cause you move in circles of the brave

Where art defines their lives

She was the one love of my life, and I let her go

And if I look like death today, then please let her know

I never wanted to do harm to her

I only wanted her to see

The beauty of the world surrounding her

But when she opened up her eyes

It's much too late

Our chance has gone, she's with a guy

Who takes the prize for everything I ever showed her

Digging all the fun because she's older

I fed her with a spoon

I made her mother smile, I helped the kid survive

She was the one love of my life

She showed me the road

I loved her dog, her steady gaze

The chapter is closed

I always wanted all the best for her

The best thing was to stay away

She grew up and she left the rest of us

And now the understanding's gone

I haven't changed, how could I?

I'm pretty much the same person

I cannot keep the anger hidden anymore

But lucky for you, you are not around

My anger turns to pity and to love

The season has arrived, the season has arrived
