At Least (Oh You) - Draft 1

Oh you
you kissed me at the station
at the end of our first date and
I
guess you never knew
That I'd planned to kiss you too
Just the same
Guess that's our game.

Oh, we
Lala la la la lalala,
Lala, la la la lalala,
You and me...
Were wrong as wrong could be,
but at least
We got that right
We got one thing right

And do you
Remember that long night
When I sang and held you tight
because you
had those nightmares and those dreams
That just wouldn't let you sleep
without me
You needed me.
and though next day you said
we'd never talk of it again,
at least
We had that night
we got one thing right.

The Shape of You

A withered red rose, saved from a bouquet,
I'm allergic to roses, but I think that's wearing off.

A single cup with two straws.
A ticket to the Apollo Victoria,
"That's Galinda with a Gar",
More ticket stubs, Jimmy Carr this time.

A review for Scar 3D,
An empty space in my bed.
The 11th.
The second series of Green Wing.

A void on my righthandside,
The beep of a text or an msn message,
My cold hands.
Christmas.

These are the things that make the shape of you,
The space that is left when you leave.
