  • You're looking so pleased with yourself
    I'm gonna come over there and wipe that smile off your
    Face

    Petty crimes in your leisure time
    You struggle to break out
    Wash away all your cheap mistakes
    You're abstinent, you're drowned

    In another world you'd have found me by now
    But you'll still end up unrevolving
    Dancefloor in the middle of the river

    Come over here, my dear
    I need to have a word in your ear
    You're your mother's girl
    You should know that by now
    All the other girls live their lives without self doubt

    In another world you'd have found me by now
    But you'll still end up unrevolving

    Dancefloor in the middle of the river

    I've been hiding from you
    Though we inhabit the same room
    I've been shying from you
    Though we're under the same roof

    You're looking so pleased with yourself
    I'm gonna come over there and wipe that smile off your
    Face

    In another world you'd have found me by now
    But you'll still end up unrevolving
    Dancefloor in the middle of the river

    In another world you would have found yourself by now
    If you weren't so proud
    I would've given it up by now
    With another girl
    I'd be floundering by now
    In another world Writer/s: Archis Tiku, Duncan Robert Lloyd, Lukas James Wooller, Paul Anthony Smith, Thomas Alexander English
