Crook - O Connell Street Lyrics

On the corner of O'Connell Street
By the bank that's aqua-blue
I held your hand outside the chip-shop there
And hoped you'd tell me what to do

'Cause I'm the one who sent you a risky text 8 years ago
And your mom was the one who called me back
She said you weren't allowed to make phone-calls during dinner
And so I laughed and asked if she'd come out instead

Late night talks turned
Late night silence
But I can't take it back now

'Cause
I was so desperate
Not to seem desperate
Half-in and half-out
Never gave it a fair shout

Now I'm so desperate
For you to remember it
With the rain on the streets, like I do

I'm sorry I still owe your dad for all that petrol
And sayin I don't want to dance
I spent the summer trying to learn 'The Walls of Limerick'
And got distracted holding hands

'Cause
I was so desperate
Not to seem desperate
Half-in and half-out
A bad dose of the cop-outs

Now I'm so desperate
For you to remember it
With the rain on the streets, like I do

In your arms
I feel it fallin'
In your arms
The absence callin'
In your arms
I'd suffer all
To say yes, say yes, say yes

'Cause
I was so desperate
Not to seem desperate
Half-in and half-out
Never gave it a fair shout

Now I'm so desperate
For you to remember it
With the rain on the streets, like I do

'Cause
I was so desperate
Not to seem desperate
Half-in and half-out
A bad dose of the cop-outs

Now I'm so desperate
For you to remember it
With the rain on the streets, in high June
