Here again propped at the bar on a Friday night Whisky inside telling me I look alright (oh oh oh I’m alright) Then I saw you there doing that pelvic dance And I thought that’s quite provocative This must be modern romance And when you smiled at me electricity shot through my body So I ignored you, pretended to look busy Texting on my phone Cos everybody knows That desperation shows And we all know how it goes We want love but we’re emotionally distant Love but we will try to resist it Pretend we’re not looking for it round every corner now We want love to find us every day Love but we will push it away Love and not just someone to blame when things don’t go our way We want love I take the same busy every day to work And on my route there was a cute boy I wanted to get To know better And one day we wrote me a letter It said: I see you every day and I don’t know what to say But I think you’re really pretty Would you like to have a drink in this lonely city with me? Here’s my number. And I thought, he looks perfect, exactly what I want so I said Please don’t get involved with me I’ve got mental instabilities and STDS Oh it’s clear to see We want love but we’re emotionally distant Love but we will try to resist it Pretend we’re not looking for it round every corner now We want love to find us every day Love but we will push it away Love and not just someone to blame when things don’t go our way We want love So this song goes out to anyone who never texts back To the people who buy you flowers one day then disappear the next To the people who spend every single waking second of their lives looking for love So they can kick it in the face In the classrooms and the saunas In the dark rooms ,on street corners In the offices and trendy bars Swimming pools, back seats of cars Everywhere that humans go we guarantee There’ll be people finding love And fucking it up We want love but we’re emotionally distant Love but we will try to resist it Pretend we’re not looking for it round every corner now We want love to find us every day Love but we will push it away Love and not just someone to blame when things don’t go our way We want love
