In My Head

Hate how the stories start it
Girl meets guy, then they depart
Suits always sell the same insane rose-coloured dream
Young lovers all washed up
Because it’s never just enough
To love someone and be without their bodies
And all the boys are down
Cause they haven’t found the ones
to bite their tongues, still on the streets catcalling
And all the girls are low
Cause they ain’t got a love to call their own
Wishing that they’ll never have start it
Cause in my head it was happy days
But it’s never the same
You’re never the same
And in the end I’ve got myself to blame
It’s so very lame
Romanticised exhaustion
Somehow seems appealing
So weave the fiction right before my eyes
When desperate hearts stay blind
And the broken peoples think that they can save unstable minds
To think I’d call these thoughts my own
Can never seem to draw the line
And all the girls are a mess
Cause there ain’t nobody to contest
Yet only handsome ones will pass the marking
And all the boys are depressed
Cause every feeling shown just gets repressed
Grow so obsessed when attention’s finally calling
Cause in my head it was all okay
It’s never been so grey
Can’t keep it away
And in the end I’ve got myself to blame
It's so very tame
Cause in my head it was happy days
But it’s never the same
You’re never the same
And in the end I’ve got myself to blame
It’s so very lame

I Wish I Didn't Care

It was so much easier
Singing to myself
Now all that I can do is worry
Cradle under the sheets
Cursing into my hands
Cause all I can do is say I'm sorry
I wish I didn't care
I wish I didn't
I wish I didn't care what you think
I don't want to meet your friends
Cause all I'll do is stare and keep my mouth shut
It's always awful having to make a fuss
Sometimes I wish I never asked
I ought to use no more when I answer
It's sad to never have original thoughts
I wish I didn't care
I wish I didn't
I wish I didn't care what you think
I wish I didn't care
I wish I didn't
I wish I didn't care what you
Wash and comb my facade
Because I'm going out tonight
And I'll be sure to list all of my accomplishments
Guess I'm at the back again
Not a single glance behind
What am I doing with myself?
I wish I didn't care
I wish I didn't
I wish I didn't care what you think
I wish I didn't care
I wish I didn't care
I wish you cared

I Miss You

I wrote a message on my window
That I know you'll never see
So I rubbed it out
As quickly as the vapour came to be
But my heavy breath fogged up the glass
It's cold memory restored
So I stayed there watching as you left
And it came flooding back once more
Cause I'm still thinking bout you
And you say you do too
But I don't believe you
Now I don't know where to cry
Whenever you cross my mind
And I can't subdue you
I know I'm such a sorry sight to watch
I'll never be alright whenever we talk
I only wish you knew how much I miss you
The traffic passing by
Red reflections, just a momentary blink
Long walks in the night
Mean nothing if the numbness doesn't hit
And you called me up in the morning
As you walked up to my door
But the moment I swung it open
You couldn't feel it anymore
And I when I caught you staring
I just told you I was bored
Yet standing in the cold this way
Feels like I'm going through withdrawal
Cause I'm still thinking bout you
And you say you do too
But I don't believe you
Now I don't know where to cry
Whenever you cross my mind
And I can't subdue you
I know I'm such a sorry sight to watch
I'll never be alright whenever we talk
I only wish you knew
I wrote a message on my window
That I know you'll never see
I dread to see the day
I'll have to rub it off completely

If You Could See Me Now

In retrospect, I can't lie
I've been trying way too hard
Sometimes the floating feels alright
Till every part of me gives up
Cause it's so exhausting
Feeling this way
Sunken eyes and sleepless nights
Of crawling out, crawling out
Shuffling wonders
Of what people will say
Hopeless ties and other lies
It's coming down, coming down
What did you think you'd see
When you tried to call on me
Sorry that I can't always
Stick around, stick around
While you give it all
I'd never let you see me bleed
I'm sorry that I'm always underground now
My pale complexion takes the light again
When did your hair grow out so long?
Seeing you without me looks just right
Even if it always feels so wrong
Cause it's so exhausting
Feeling this way
Endless fights, no appetite
Still full of doubt, full of doubt
Shuffling wonders of how I will decay
A heavy chest, so out of breath
It's creeping now, creeping out
What did you think you'd see
When you tried to call on me
Wish I could stay with you to
Stick it out, stick it out
While you give it all
I'd never let you see me bleed
I'm sorry that I am aways
Underground now
Underground now
It's so exhausting
Hope you know I never mean to let you down
Forever pondering
If you could see me now

The Manchester band's latest is the kind of ear candy that’s sweet and satisfying but never cloying, the product of Madchester exuberance, endurance, and tact.
