Taste and Buy (Small Days Riddim) - Nekeita

Always falling apart Never close to being state of the art While we spend much of our time On what's yours and what's mine but Who's to know? Oh, some day we'll go driving in the dark In your cherry interior car And we'll stop just to hear the sound Of an old and tired town I could cry now Is this what you really wanted? A reasonable call to make I was somewhere in between it Never in the air you breathe Is this what you really wanted? Oh Dying in the currency It's a life that you were needing To lay awake and look through me To look through me Born in the delicate days Shop around with the greens and the greys You and I could crawl inside Leave when the weather's right and walk along I was only ever ready to go When you asked if I had reason to know If it's a long way down from here Best to disappear and move along now Is this what you really wanted? A reasonable call to make I was somewhere in between it Never in the air you breathe Twenty-two Did or do Forget you Split in two Cut right through You're just a landslide starting to move Is this what you really wanted? Oh The reasonable call to make I was somewhere in between it Never in the air you breathe Never in the air you breathe

Just let me say one thing I've had enough You're selfish and sorry You'll never learn how to love As your world disassembles Better keep your head up Your name, your face Is all you have left now Betrayed, disgraced You've been erased So long, so long I have erased you So long, so long I've wanted to waste you So long, so long I have erased you I have escaped The bitter taste of you Just let me clear my head I think I've had too much You're so disappointing But you make good use of it As your world disassembles Better keep your head up Your name, your face Is all you have left now Betrayed, disgraced You've been erased So long, so long I have erased you So long, so long I've wanted to waste you So long, so long I have erased you I have escaped The bitter taste of you Your name, your face Is all you have left now Disgraced, betrayed You've been erased So long, so long I have erased you So long (so long), so long I've wanted to waste you So long, so long I have erased you I have escaped The bitter taste I have escaped The bitter taste of you

Welcome to our house On Maple Avenue See how we polish and we shine We rearrange and realign Everything is balanced and... And... Days, and days, and days That's how it happens Days, and days, and days Made of lunches And car rides And shirts and socks And grades And piano And no one clocks the day you disappear Days, and days, and days That's how it happens Days, and days, and days Made of posing And bragging And fits of rage And boys, my god, some of them underage! And, oh, how did it all happen here? There was a time your father swept me off my feet with words We read books Strolled through Munich at night Drank beer with friends Discussed the places we would go And he said I understood how the world made him ache But no, but no... That's how it happens Days Made of bargains I made because I thought as a wife I was meant to And now my life is shattered and laid bare Days, and days, and days, and days And days, and days, and days Welcome to our house on Maple Avenue See how we polish and we shine We rearrange and realign Everything is balanced and serene Like chaos never happens if it's never seen Don't you come back here I didn't raise you To give away your days Like me
