Can we all please just calm the fuck down?

In an analogy that makes sense to most
This opportunity it found me a mark at the far post
But I blazed it right against the crossbar of the pub
That you had worked in since you moved here from Bath Spa

We agreed we couldn't trust a guy that didn't like a single sport
But those bow-legged suitors hadn't given me much of a thought
They said it smelled delicious but it smelled of burning flesh
Not meant to be malicious but this is the cross we bear

The story of the winter I forgot how to speak my mind
Was like a nation's flag but my breeze was too weak
How they dragged me to the hospital, said I had gone deaf
But I heard everything they said, it's just I had no interest

Our friends have put the two of us on suicide watch
And every second spent away we spend watching the clock
There are photos of us holding hands outside of the frame
I was there but wonder where our fingers were all the same

It's like a self-restraint, it's the size of a fingernail
And yet we chew it down, yeah, we chew it down all the same
Sad eyes for sad goodbyes
It's a crime, it's a crime, it's a crime, it's a crime

The story of the winter I forgot how to speak my mind
Was like a nation's flag but my breeze was too weak
How they dragged me to the hospital, said I had gone deaf
But I heard everything they said, it's just I had no interest

Can we all please just calm the fuck down?
