Come sit on the sofa with the pink scratches next to me

Even though it reminds you of the thin dashes down my cheek

I know you can't stand it, the sight of blood

But forget about it, sit down and tell me you're in love

You're squeezing an orange in the kitchen into cups

And you think that I'm a child cause I don't really drink it with the guts

But I know you, I know the minutes you'd give up

Picking them out from my glass one by one

But then I'm awake and you are a stranger

Gone with no trace and I'm left there to savour

All of the cactus pricks on my tongue

Cause you have no face, no name, you're no one

I doze off and I'm back with your back to the TV

And I think you're just insane cause you're missing the best part of the movie

The band takes a bow, the red curtain falls

But you're looking at me, not watching at all

And it's not my fault that my mind is so restless

I've lost all my defences

But then I'm awake

And you are just someone

I've known for three seconds and I've managed to summon

All of the years in which we could reign

If only I could just recall your name

Is it really such a crime to fantasise?

Even if one day the fire alarm will cry

And I get burned on the sofa that's up in flames

At least I know that I've got a place

Somewhere where you have a name

So don't make me wake, just let me imagine

That there is a love song just waiting to happen

I don't know who or where or how

All that I know is that it isn't now

But if I just shut down for the night

I'll be on that sofa and I'll be alright

Come sit on the sofa
