  • Well, this is a good idea
    He wouldn't do it if it wasn't
    He wouldn't do it if it wasn't one
    Well, my friend fancies you
    Oh, what a way to begin it all
    You said, "They're always exciting words to hear"
    And they woke up together not quite realizing how
    Awkwardly stretching and yawning
    It's always hard in the morning

    And I suppose that's the price you pay
    Well, oh, it isn't what it was
    She's thinking he looks different today
    And now there's nothing left to guess now

    They left before the lights came on
    Because they didn't want to ruin what it was that was brewing
    Before they absolutely had to
    And how can you wake up with someone you don't love
    And not feel slightly fazed by it?
    Oh, he had a struggle
    And they woke up together not quite realizing how

    Awkwardly stretching and yawning
    It's always hard in the morning

    And I suppose that's the price you pay
    Well, oh, it isn't what it was
    She's thinking he looks different today
    And now there's nothing left to guess now

    Well, quick, let's leave before the lights come on
    'Cause then you don't have to see
    'Cause then you don't have to see what you've done
    Well, quick, let's leave before the lights come on
    'Cause then you don't have to see
    'Cause then you don't have to see what you've done

    I'll walk you up, what time's the bus come?
    I'll walk you up, what time's the bus come?
    I'll walk you up, what time's the bus come?
    I'll walk you up Writer/s: Alex Turner
