Lyrics

She said "I feel numb."
I said "That doesn't make sense
Numbness is a lack of feeling."
She said I knew what she meant
And I did
I was just talking
I'm not a pedant but I was hesitant to let silence walk in
I took her hand and I kissed each knuckle
It didn't register at first but then
She smiled a smile that meant fuck all
"I don't think I want to fight it."
She said without eye contact
"I want my last breath to be a laugh
Not the last gasp of a lab rat."
And I had nothing to say back
Just smiled and kissed each knuckle again
Comfort rewound and played back
We left through the lobby as I texted Skaghead Bobby
Nice name right?
He said he'd run out but if we dropped off
Cash now he could sort us out the same night
So we dropped off a little money and then went and had Happy Meals
Lady's choice I had said and she chose to pay Ronald McDonald's bills
I wore an upper half face mask of the Hamburglar
And we took it in turns not to laugh as we
Ate the equivalent weight of a third of her
I used to buy weed off Bobby back in my late teens
He was as shady as his moniker but he could facilitate our new needs
Neither of us had done ecstasy before
But we bought three tabs each
Fuck it, you only live once and that's at the most it would seem
We walked along the South Bank wrapped up warm in coats and gloves
We sang songs, ran in circles, laughed and fell in love
It wasn't real love of course, just a chemical alternative
But that was all we required
Temporary life affirmance shit
We were beauty that night
Through drug-tinted glasses
The sun shone on us through the dark
Skies as the rest of the world passed us
Our on-foot adventure took us all the way down to Greenwich
Start to finish four hours, give or take a few minutes
Around 10:45 as we sat on a bench the place blew in the dark
You could see right across the river
From the Cutty Sark to Millwall Park
We shared a kiss at that moment
With no sexual undercurrents
She jumped to her feet and said "Let's play a game
If you can catch me right now I will tell you my name."
And with that she turned and ran as I promptly gave chase
Through streets and alleyways as laughs cascaded from her face
Again I've no doubt it was down to the chemicals
But she seemed to float and glow as we bounded
On like thin blood through wide ventricles
All of a sudden, like in slow motion
She hurled herself into the air
And then in the blinking sound of a splash
I was stood all alone there
There was no flailing or splashes
Just the first one that broke the surface
I heard that when a girl writes off the world
It's done in cursive
I'd met her that morning
In the waiting room at 7am
And sixteen beautiful hours later
I'd never see her again
