Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I was waiting for the bus one day

Watched a fight between an artsy couple escalate

Strawberry cheeks flushed with defeated rage

Then he spills his coffee as he frantically explained

[Verse 2]

"Maybe if you took a breath

You would hear me when I talk to you"

Threw her necklace in his face

Eyes so bright with disappointment

I saw something inside her break

Everybody knows the feeling

Suddenly he started screaming

[Verse 3]

Caroline

I swear to God I try

I swear to God I try

Caroline

I swear to God I try

I swear to God I try

[Verse 4]

I swear to God I try

Swear to God I try

[Verse 5]

Ripped the hem of her skirt as she ran

Panicking and weaving through the crowds on Oxford Street

Watched his world dissolve in his hands

Tried to roll a blem and put his head between his knees

[Verse 6]

Maybe if she took a breath

She would know I did it all for her

Agony and hints of sage

Her eyes blind with disappointment

I couldn't recognise her face

Shards of glass live in this feeling

Have to somehow stop her leaving

[Verse 7]

Caroline

I swear to God I try

I swear to God I try

Caroline

I swear to God I try

I swear to God I try

[Verse 8]

Caroline

I swear to God I try

I swear to God I try

Caroline

I swear to God I try

I swear to God I try

[Verse 9]

I swear to God I try

Swear to God I try

I swear to God I try

Swear to God I try
