What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Pete is young man
2
Heart full of rain
3
Eyes full of evenings
4
Spent in a dream
5
Grew up in a city where you master your pain
6
Or you end up numb, not feeling
7
Becky is a young woman
8
Heart full of earth
9
Eyes full of mornings
10
Spent without sleeping
11
Grew up in a city where it's hard to be heard
12
And nothing really has much meaning
13
Pete had his heart broke once. He never fixed it
14
Sits there in his chest
15
With his arms crossed, screwing
16
Becky had her heart broke twice She won't risk it again
17
She don't wanna see her heart get ruined
18
And now she's on her way
19
To wash up and take the orders For spaghetti
20
At Giuseppe's
21
The cafeÌ on the corner
22
She did the night shift too
23
A masseuse at the sauna
24
She's putting herself through uni It's hard work
25
But will it be this way forever?
26
These are lonely days
27
What if she could be the one that makes it better?
28
He looks away, can't hold her gaze
29
But will it be this way forever?
30
These are stressful times
31
What if he could be the one that gets her?
32
She looks away, she's petrified
33
'Now, have you thought about retail?'
34
'Yes, fine with me'
35
'Oh and I can see here that you have a degree'
36
'Yes,' says Pete, 'in International Relations.'
37
'Great
38
Let's see if Primark has space for a placement.'
39
Becky clears up from the lunch rush Crushed
40
By the blank eyes
41
Impolite customers thrusting
42
Their damp fives
43
Into her palms, she thinks
44
There ain't no harm in being civil though, Is there?
45
He folds up his job form
46
Gets up from his chair
47
The next person sits down with a similar air Of dejection
48
He walks out, heads in the direction
49
Of the cafeÌ on the corner
50
For a coffee and some headroom
51
This guy comes in
52
The first customer to close the door behind him For that alone she likes him
53
He sits at the table by the window
54
Reading, half smiling
55
His hair's messy and his eyes are shining
56
Can't think what to say, he just stares blankly
57
Picks up his change, fiddles with his spoon
58
And as he leaves the cafeÌ he's consumed
59
With thoughts of her
60
Wishing that he'd got up the guts
61
To try and talk to her
62
But will it be this way forever?
63
These are lonely days
64
What if she could be the one that makes it better?
65
He looks away, can't hold her gaze
66
But will it be this way forever?
67
These are stressful times
68
What if he could be the one that gets her?
69
She looks away, she's petrified
70
It's Becky's mate's birthday They're out for the night
71
Now, Becky's mate is the nightmare type
72
She'll flirt with anyone
73
Scream at the top of her voice
74
But it's her birthday so Becky
75
Don't really have a choice
76
He sees her in the queue
77
He doesn't know what to do
78
She's more beautiful than he remembers Then she says
79
'Alright?'
80
And he tries to say something funny
81
But stutters
82
And now he feels like a muppet and blushes (No, No, No)
83
Inside it's the usual scene
84
They're dancing at the bar, waiting to get served
85
Becky's mate's screaming about something absurd
86
And they're all fake laughing
87
Even though nobody heard a word
88
So now he's hunting around the room
89
Staring into every booth
90
The back of every head could be hers It's no use
91
He stops by the bar, thinking
92
Man, I'll never find her
93
And then he realises that he's standing beside her
94
He stands there awkward
95
His eyes are as loud as the bass
96
And she can recognise something in his face
97
She scribbles down her number
98
Lingering glance
99
And lets herself think
100
Maybe this could be her chance
101
But will it be this way forever?
102
These are lonely days
103
What if she could be the one that makes it better?
104
He looks away, can't hold her gaze
105
But will it be this way forever?
106
These are stressful times
107
What if he could be the one that gets her?
108
She looks away, she's petrified
