“Just Like In Songs”
The party was in full swing when Tim turned up at the door
He quietly let himself in and that was when he saw
Natalie was sat in the corner, nothing else to do
And when they started talking, morning came too soon
Another day and too much to drink caused Tim and Nat not to think
Lying down, their clothes came off, they didn’t know when to stop
They saw each other every day and talked of Belle & Sebastian
Tim studied while Natalie worked and at night they’d meet again
They went to all the pubs, danced in all the good clubs, ate at just one take-away
And every time Tim fucked up she’d say “don’t worry, it’s okay”
And nothing was too big a deal, she said “happiness is a steal”
Days turned to weeks as the sun went down, neither of them could leave this town
Another day, nothing to drink, Natalie started to think
Lying down, she started off: “I love you but we’ve got to stop”
He said “I understand even though I don’t feel that way
And, in all consideration, friendship is okay”
Months later in this town, as the sun is going down
Tim sits next to her without a care; Natalie knows he’s always there.
So yeah. Tim is me and Natalie is Anna. The fifth and sixth stanzas occured on Saturday evening.
