Gentleman

She called him a gentleman
And left it there once he had walked her home
Strolled home with the air of a victor
Snow fell down and chilled him down to his bones
How was he to know?
Oh oh oh
Flash forward to two weeks later
She won’t dance, she laughs and checks her phone
He tells her she looks pretty
She says who’s this boy who won’t leave me alone
Oh oh oh
CHORUS
It was new
It was theres
And it caught them unawares
He’d been let
down before
Now he was ready to settle the score
She’d hold his hand if he’d let her
She had always deserved better
And no doubt
before too long
it’d be just another ruined love song
He was from another city
She may just as well have been form space
He was scared and she was nervous
but he couldn’t wipe the smile off of her face
And he liked it that way
Hey hey hey
They drank all of the gin and whiskey
And she said “hey boy, it’s getting late”
They trudged their boot through four feet of snow
And kissed in a doorway at 2:08
It was worth the wait
A a a
CHORUS
Just as quickly as it got started
It was all over when she just turned to run
Snow fell as the story ended
And he went and wrote a perfectly ruined love song
Oh oh oh
She called him a gentleman

It’s been five hundred and twenty one days
Since I got small and then hid away
You’ve had love and lost love along the way
Drunkenly we’ve said all there is to say
Up there, beyond the hair
(I wanna be) up there, beyond the hair
It’s been five hundred and twenty one days
Since the beard-tree forest started to sway
Good thing you knew that girl, she saved our lives
That’s the way of the world, yeah that’d be right
It’s been five hundred and twenty one days
I’ve been living in the deepest, darkest parts of your face
So please sober up, get up, take me back to S.M.A.L.L.
I’m ready to be big and then face the fall
Up there, beyond the hair
(I wanna be) up there, beyond the hair
Up there, beyond the hair
(I wanna be) up there, beyond the hair

Don't know how long it's been
Since I watched you fly away
Sometimes it feels just like forever
Could be years, it could be days
Leave your clothes here as insurance
But take the memories with you
Send them back in bits and pieces
From across the ocean blue
So take my hand and then,
Sweet faraway friend,
Promise me you'll see me soon
But it seems the word
Loses all meaning when
Your midnight is my noon
Maybe it's not as hard for you though
Well used to travelling through time
No matter how long 'til the next time that I see you I know
I've got your back and you've got mine
Tell me the stories of the girls you've kissed and plays you've missed
And all the things that you havve seen
I'll do my best to send,
Sweet faraway friend,
Love from my side of the screen
I'll send you acrobats, emoticons and caps and everything in between
Don't know how long it's been
Pick a number roll the dice
For now its about the only prediction we'll make
But for now it'll suffice
So take my hand and then,
Sweet faraway friend,
Promise me you'll see me soon
But it seems the word
Loses all meaning when
Your midnight is my noon
So take my hand and then,
Sweet faraway friend,
Promise me you'll come home soon
But it seems the word
Loses all meaning when
Your midnight is my noon
