You sauntered off and you said how’s tricks 
You can’t mix drugs with your politics 
But we took and talked and lost the plot 
And after that everything seemed fine 
In this distinct and beautiful collide
We drag each others worlds round under the tide 
With intoxicated hands 
Cold cold hearts 
And well laid plans

Are you listening 
Are you listening 
As the days
Like the waves 
Pile up behind you

La la la la la 
Keep it on
Melt my plastic heart 
And help me move on 
Why can't I move on?

How do you escape 
The great pails of pouring rain 
Go to a foreign land or a house in Spain oh 
La la la la la la oh 
Oh how I'd kill to go 
Erect the gutters and rib us in
Life or buildings and medicines 
We all make the same mistakes 
Our pitfalls pull us together

Are you listening 
Are you listening 
As the days
Like the waves 
Pile up behind you

La la la la la 
Keep it on
Melt my plastic heart 
And help me move on 

Kick this round our bedroom floor
Hate the daylight hours which you wont ignore
But the tide, the tide has drifted away

Are You listening
Are you listening
As the days like the waves decisively pull us under

La la la la la 
You keep it all 
Melt my plastic heart 
And help me move on 
La la la la la 
Keep it on

There's friends for life and accquaintances,
There's romance from great distances,
There's been so many casualties,
But i cannot wallow over these
Oh no
