Lyrics

If I sleep too long (sleep too long) Would you wake me up? Would you lay down beside me Kick me 'til I rise? If I got it wrong (got it wrong) Would you correct me? Would I detect your patronising Trivialising little smile (You can't have the best of me) You can't have the best of me That's a thing that I keep for me And the company that I keep You can't have the best of me (You can't have the best of me) That's a thing that I keep for me And the company that I keep Cos if I speak what's on my mind You might leave me far behind And the sun sets west of the happiness Nevertheless, I'm gonna be there on your mind Did the world move on? (world move on) Were you asleep? Did you arise to find that time had shuffled by? And now your thoughts are gone (Thoughts are gone, yeah) Like a coconut Maybe you rolled along the coast for far too long For far too long (You can't have the best of me) You can't have the best of me That's a thing that I keep for me And the company that I keep You can't have the best of me (You can't have the best of me) That's a thing that I keep for me And the company that I keep Cos if I speak what's on my mind You might leave me far behind And the sun sets west of the happiness Nevertheless, I'm gonna be there on your mind Cos if I speak what's on my mind You might leave me far behind And the blues may seem unkind For the ones who find the time And the sun sets west of the happiness Nevertheless, I'm gonna be there on your mind
