Coming back from Paris on the train
I really didn't care if
the journey took all day.
Trying to turn the pages of my magazine
while trying to keep a hold of your hand.
And ordering a coffee
that I wouldn't ever drink.
Just to keep you and Paris on my mind,
just to keep you and Paris on my mind.
I didn't know it would be the last time,
the last time I saw you...

At Waterloo we went
our separate ways.
When I got in my cab
I didn't turn and wave.
Didn't go to work just went to bed.
Trying to keep you and Paris on my mind,
trying to keep you and Paris on my mind.
I didn't know it would be the last time,
the last time I saw you...

I phoned your office this afternoon,
they said they hadn't
heard anything from you.
It's been... seven days without a word.
I have to keep you and Paris on my mind,
I have to keep you and Paris on my mind.
I didn't know it would be the last time,
the last time I saw you...

Going back to Paris on the train.
Raining and without you
it's... not the same.
I have to do this journey one more time,
just to keep you and Paris on my mind,
just to keep you and Paris on my mind.
I didn't know it would be the last time,
the last time... I saw you...

The last time... I saw you...
The last time... I saw you...
The last time... I saw you...

You're chatting to me, like we connect
But I don't even know if we're still friends
It's so confusing,
Understanding you is making me not want to do

And think things like: 'I know I should do'
But I trip faster then I lose
I hate looking like a fool

I just want your kiss boy, kiss boy, kiss boy
I just want your kiss
I just want your kiss boy, kiss boy, kiss boy
I just want your kiss

The lights are on
And someone's home
I'm not sure if they're alone
There's someone else inside my head
Living in there too fills me with dread

This paranoia is distressing
But I spend most of my night guessing
Are we not, are we together
Will this make our lives much better

I'm not in love
I just wanna be touched

I just want your kiss boy, kiss boy, kiss boy
I just want your kiss
I just want your kiss boy, kiss boy, kiss boy
I just want your kiss
Wops I think I've got too close
'Cause now he's telling me I'm girl that he likes most
Now I messed up it's not the first time
I'm not saying you're not on my mind
I hope that you don't think I'm unkind

I just want your kiss boy, kiss boy, kiss boy
I just want your kiss
I just want your kiss boy, kiss boy, kiss boy
I just want your kiss

New romantic by Laura marling

I know I said I loved you but I'm thinking I was wrong,
I'm the first to admit that I'm still pretty young,
and I never meant to hurt you when I wrote you ten love songs.
but a guy that I could never get 'cause his girlfriend was pretty fit
and everyone who knew her loved her so.
and I made you leave her for me and now I'm feeling pretty mean,
but my mind has fucked me over more times than any man could ever know.

Maybe I should give up, give in,
give up trying to be thin,
give up and turn into my mother,
god knows I love her.

and I'm sorry to which ever man should meet my sorry state,
watch my steady lonesome gait and beware.
I would never love a man 'cause love and pain go hand in hand
and I can't do it again.

So we stayed up late one night to try and get our problems right,
but I couldn't get into his head just what was going through my mind,
and I think he knew where I was going
he put Ryan Adams on
I think he thinks it makes me weak
it only ever makes me strong.
I've got this friend who sounds just like him,
now he's the man I'd leave you for, the man that I just adore like you.
The same man, he turns to me he said I've got to tell you how i feel,
if god could make the perfect girl for me it would be you
and my god told me not tell about how much do you love your fella?"
I don't know more everyday
not in this new romantic way.

I'll always be your first love, you'll always be my first love.

but I'm sorry to which ever man should meet my sorry state
watch my steady lonesome gait and beware,
I would never love a man 'cause love and pain go hand in hand
And I can't do it, again
I would never love a man cause I could never hurt a man, not in this very new romantic
way.

So kiss me- Leigh Nash

Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress.

[Chorus:]
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

[Chorus (repeat)]

The closest thing to crazy by Katie Melua

Origin: London, England
Genre(s): Acoustic, blues, jazz, folk-pop
Years active: 2003–present

How can I think I'm standing strong,
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep,
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?

CHORUS:
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
I was never crazy on my own…
And now I know that there's a link between the two,
Being close to craziness and being close to you.

How can you make me fall apart
Then break my fall with loving lies?
It's so easy to break a heart;
It's so easy to close your eyes.
How can you treat me like a child
Yet like a child I yearn for you?
How can anyone feel so wild?
How can anyone feel so blue?

CHORUS

...and being close to you
...and being close to you.
