Synchronised Sinking - The Lucksmiths

You don’t need to ask me twice

I’m not averse to giving advice

On a barstool basis

Four o’clock sounds fine to me

I’ll meet you at the library

There’s privacy in public places

Oh, but, reader, heal thyself

Put the book back on the shelf

Something’s obviously wrong

Your face is all day long

It was lovely when you laughed

Come on — please get it off your chest

It’s a commonplace but I’d suggest

A problem shared is a problem halved

Kick a stone across the road

Explain or you’ll explode

Here we are

Silhouetted in the smoke

From the shipwrecks at the bar

Of the Anchor and Hope

And I haven’t seen you smile in quite a while

Why don’t you let go of your boy and see

You’ve lost none of your buoyancy?

So sobersided

Overboard and undecided

Have you come to the conclusion

That you’ve come to the conclusion?

Have you come to the conclusion

That you’ve come to the conclusion?

You’re unsure

But at least you’re thinking

This looks more and more

Like synchronised sinking

And I haven’t seen you smile in quite a while

And I haven’t seen you anywhere in ages

Knowing how you must be hating this

Going down with the relationship
