Old Flames - Frank Turner

I went down to London Town to stay for the weekend

I’d been to long out on the road, I needed to catch up with my friends

But I didn’t expect to see you there and I didn’t expect to care

And I said, oh honey if I had known,

How the weekend would go,

Just how low I could go,

I would’ve stayed away

I went back to town

Pack my things to say goodbye

But I got talked in to going for a drink and one drink became a night

If I’d know that you were 'round, I wouldn’t have gone down

And I said, oh honey if I had seen,

Where this weekend would lead,

And seen the wreckage I’d leave,

I would’ve stayed away

And I always knew it was a bad idea

And I always knew I should just stay clear

I slipped up on a couple of months and a couple of beers

I’d like to fall in love again

But we’re no good at being friends

It’s just sex with the ex and the morning regrets

But do you remember

Back when we were young and unformed

It was all so much easier to give of yourself to fall in love, yeah

But as we get older and set in our ways

We hide in our hearts

But on nights like these

It can seem so much simpler

To simply forget why we ever grew apart

I don’t really know what you were thinking

Do you even think at all?

Car crash in slow motion the way that we falled into bed

I don’t really know what I was drinking

I don’t usually drink at all

I woke up with the hotel bill and an ache in my head

I’d like to fall in love again

We’re no good at being friends

It’s just sex with the ex and the morning regrets

And oh, honey,

It won’t be the same

Oh, honey, we’ll never change

We’re drawn back into the flame

When we both, both should have stayed, stayed away
