  • I fell straight
    Into your arms
    Like a drunk
    Who's been on it
    All morning
    And the sun's up
    And my head's fucked
    And immediately I grabbed you
    You go all red
    Like the first time
    I love it when you do that
    Gotta love it when you do that

    I remember when we
    Swapped names and I thought maybe
    You'd stay and try to out-drink me
    Your friends all hate it!

    But fuck it if they talk
    Fuck it if they try and get to us
    'Cause I'd rather go blind
    Than let you down

    Our cocoon
    Run your shoulders
    When you're half cut
    And you're frozen
    And you've got that visible grieving
    You're depending on me again

    I remember when we
    Swapped names and I thought maybe
    You'd stay and try to out-drink me
    Your friends all hate it!

    But fuck it if they talk
    Fuck it if they try and get to us
    'Cause I'd rather go blind
    Than let you down

    Fuck it if they talk
    Fuck it if they try and get to us
    'Cause I'd rather go blind
    Than let you down

    And if you wanna track down and pose as positive
    Hide smoking from relatives
    Rest on me
    Honey, that's all right!
    And if you wanna act more drunk than usual
    To help you get away with more than
    Rest on me
    Honey, that's alright!
    Honey, that's alright!

    Our cocoon
    Round your shoulders
    And I'm good
    Yeah, that's good

    Fuck it if they talk
    Fuck it if they try and get to us
    'Cause I'd rather go blind
    Than let you down

    I remember when we
    Swapped names and I thought maybe
    You'd stay and try to out-drink me
    Your friends all hate it! Writer/s: Matthew Benjamin Blakeway, Robert Hall, Ryan Evan McCann
