When We're in Fitzroy - Gretta Ray

Deep in uncharted water, we were at sea with the fact

That a glance over a shoulder would see us taken aback

I was hook, line and sinker nested inside your head

This sweet-toothed over thinker to your right lies in your bed

Apathy at it’s finest has got a tight hold on us

Well 'tis the season for it, the haze of summer now past

But when in the depth of winter, I say embrace the lull

Slow down, take a moment to centre and indulge

I’ll take care of you

Be the girl you want me to

Within this suburb where this little love grew

And settled in Fitzroy

My mind won’t dare to wander

When faced with what I’ve stumbled upon

A chance encounter with you, boy

Stars aligning in their rarest of forms

So let your bedroom be our port in a storm

When we’re in Fitzroy

Unashamedly hopeless romantics and desperate artist at best

Spending my time in small venues, you spend your days at a desk

When walls cave in around you, know this redeeming thought

I wait at home to greet you, I’ll treat you like you’re a God

Well I’ll take care of you

Be the girl you want me to

When we’re in Fitzroy

My mind won’t dare to wander

When faced with what I’ve stumbled upon

A chance encounter with you, boy

Stars aligning in their rarest of forms

So let your bedroom be our port in a storm

And we can let go of torturous resistance

When nothing and no one else is in existence

We’re revelling in filling the void

When we’re in Fitzroy

I’ll take care of you

Be the girl you want me to

When we’re in Fitzroy

My mind won’t dare to wander

When faced with what I’ve stumbled upon

A chance encounter with you, boy

Stars aligning in their rarest of forms

So let your bedroom be our port in a storm

And we can let go of torturous resistance

When nothing and no one else is in existence

We’re revelling in filling the void

We’re revelling in filling the void

We’re revelling in filling the void

When we’re in Fitzroy
