Half Sex 02:29
I’m not her, but I could be for this short while So keep me up all night. Promises, promises You said you you’d keep them all But I know different ‘cos I was one of them Don’t look at me the way you look at her Why do you waste those charming words? Why must you always prove me right? Promises, promises Words you imposed on me I knew I’d break them, now I’m breaking you Don’t look at me through those romantic eyes

Regarding 02:55
No noise, except an involuntary gasp Of horror at where we're placing fingertips You call me by my name It sounds so strange, I don't complain Blinded by the darkness and the gin. This is not normal pillow talk Our pretences I lie through my teeth but you can't hold your tongue Tip-toe across landings outside the room Creep down creaky stairways Not wanting to face the reality, this shouldn't be Tomorrow we shall not speak of this again. This is our mistake This secret's out.

I know that it's too late And I shouldn't be sitting here by the phone I know I made a mistake And I shouldn't have said those three little words at all You're sat at home Listening to old pop songs all alone Up in your room where I'll never go again Since you said to me 'we're no more than friends' I know that it's too late And things will never be like before You were my closest friend Now I can't look you in the eye again Sorry sadly we're no more than friends.

Mousey brown hair pinned back from her face She has an old Ikea pencil tucked behind her ear Trying to find the balance between strict and friendly The only manner to behave She’s sworn to silence unless you have a question And she’s got all the answers when she opens her pursed lips Peering over glasses but not looking down her nose At unruly children. And when she opens the page The monotony fades away Amongst the bookstands, dusting off the shelves Collecting books that she plans to read but never will In amongst the Classics, Histories and the Thrillers She finds the one she’s looking for She can’t remember the last time that she felt as alive As she feels with her heart in a book Trying to find the balance between work and romance, She gets the two mixed up And when she opens the page The monotony fades away She’s lost in the pages It’s got to the stage where it’s gone too far..

Zooey 02:49
I’ve seen all your films I know that you’re trained to act that way But I can’t detach myself when I see you kissing somebody else Theatrical types Bet it came so easily to you Suspiciously cool; the definition of pretentious pop culture I’m getting doughy over Zooey She makes boys act so strange Though her movies aren’t too great I still watch them all again and again You sing in a band She and Him, Volumes One and Two I lie awake reading the words, pretending that you wrote them for me and you I copied the songs Not prepared to buy them on CD I listened to them one by one, I can’t deny the appeal is lost on me I tried to write you a love letter Wrote it down in size 12 Arial font Return to sender, all the others the same ‘Cos Zooey I can never spell your name
