There you were, stood on top of his world
Didn't know where to go, the only way was up
Five foot tall, you stood small with him at your door
Drapes and capes hung from three or your four walls
Let him in, he grinned as he walked the hall
Put his shoes in the room beside the back door
You only met him yesterday
Then you threw him away before he had the chance to stay
He was reading the wrong hand on the wrong clock on the right wall
Even sharks need a little water
There you were, stood on top of my world
Didn't know where to go, the only way was down
Five foot seven, I stood with a confession
Spare room with a view of the heavens
I only met you yesterday
Then you threw me away before I had the chance to stay
I was reading the wrong hand on the wrong clock on the right wall
Even sharks need a little water
And you knew what to do with him to get under his skin
And the saying is a way into your darkest memories
With the world on your shoulders, it's a different kind of pain
They're all the same
You only met him yesterday
Then you threw him away before he had the chance to stay
He was reading the wrong hand on the wrong clock on the right wall
Even sharks need a little
You only met him yesterday
Then you threw him away before he had the chance to stay
He was reading the wrong hand on the wrong clock on the right wall
