  • I'm gonna pull you in close
    Gonna wrap you up tight
    Gonna play with the braids
    That you came here with tonight
    I'm gonna hold your face
    And toast the snow that fell

    Because friends don't waste wine
    When there's words to sell

    I feel like love in the kitchen
    With the culinary eye
    I think he's makin' something special
    And I'm smart enough to try
    If you don't trust yourself
    For at least a minute each day
    Well, you should trust in this, girl
    'Cause loving is coming our way

    You can fix me up, girl
    We'll go a long long way
    If you can fix me up, girl
    You'll go a long long way

    I'll stand by all this drinking (take my love in these small doses)
    If it helps me through these days (take my love in these small doses)
    It takes a long time just to get this all straight (take my love in these small doses)
    I'll showcase on Route 7 (take my love in these small doses)
    When I find the right place (take my love in these small doses)
    It takes a long time just to get this all straight (take my love in these small doses)
    In my mind
    This is my, my, my free time

    Because friends don't waste wine
    When there's words to sell
    If you can fix me up, girl, we'll go a long long way
    If you can fix me up, girl, you'll go a long long way

    I'll stand by all this drinking (take my love in these small doses)
    If it helps me through these days (take my love in these small doses)
    I've spent a long time corresponding in my own way (take my love in these small doses)
    I'll showcase on Route 7 (take my love in these small doses)
    When I find the right place (take my love in these small doses)
    It takes a long time just to get this all straight (take my love in these small doses)
    In my mind
    This is my, my, my free time

    To break it all away
    Spend it all today
    Spend it all today

    It took time, then I found you
    It took time, then I found you
    It took time, then I found you
    It took time, then I found you, oh, oh, ooh, ooh Writer/s: Carlos Dengler, Daniel Kessler, Paul Banks, Samuel Fogarino
