lyrics

I know "not now, not ever" is what I said before
but now I see the light buzzing on my Malm
you've applied some picture pressure for me to crumple to your door
you know I thought I might have got over you by now
I do everything to not reply,
I turn back over rub my eyes
re-read your message twenty times
- who do I think I'm kidding?

Pick my pocket, I'll pretend I didn't see
nick my wallet, take some cash and cut yourself a key
I try it and I can't knock it
you lie but don't you dare stop it
just you play your pocket right on me

My mother always told me - "leopards don't change their spots"
and thank God it's true, with a coat like yours
my housemates they just scold me
throwing pennies at my thoughts
on why I leave the door open to you
and hey - i'm not so sure

I do everything to not reply
I turn around and roll my eyes
crack my knuckles, agonise
- who do I think I'm kidding

Pick my pocket, I'll pretend I didn't see
nick my wallet, take some cash and cut yourself a key
I try it and I can't knock it
you lie but don't you dare stop it
just you play your pocket right on me

There's a fork in the road but there's only one tine
it's my fault - so why can't i stop complaining?
The knife that you hold has cut me for the last time
but yea....yea I'll come over, see you soon

Pick my pocket, I'll pretend I didn't see
nick my wallet, take some cash and cut yourself a key
I try it and I can't knock it
you lie but don't you dare stop it
just you play your pocket right on me

pick my pocket, I'll pretend I didn't see
just you play your pocket right on me
pick my pocket, I'll pretend I didn't see
just you play your pocket right on me
