Hello darling Ive been calling you
The batterys on the blink again
Im sitting here knee deep in peak hour traffic and its getting worse
Dont forget to check the microwave
The dinners hot the cats been fed
The milk is off you might need to go to the store
Yes I know that all sounds boring
But I wont be home tonight
Dont wait up for me
I will be staying at a girlfriends out of town
Dont try to call me there
Coz Im gonna need
Some time to think some time to settle down
I guess youre sleeping as its 4am,
The world is in a coma and Im not used to sleeping in a single bed
and I cant get warm
Ive got this picture of the two of you
It lingers like a strange perfume
Clings around the edges of my vanity
Babe, you know its killing me
I wont be home tonight
Dont wait up for me
Ill be staying at a girlfriends out of town
No dont try to call me there
Coz, Im gonna need some time
time to think and time to settle down.
Some dog is waking up the neighbourhood
and shits me that its half past nine
I havent even showered and Im late again
oh how middle class
Perhaps well meet for lunch, and have a chat
and then youll placate me
and remind me why I ever fell in love with you
maybe well even start a new
I need some time, time to think and time to settle down
I need some time, time to think and time to settle down
I wont be home tonight, dont wait up for me
Ill be staying at girlfriends out of town dont try to call me there
Time to think.
