I should ink my skin with your name

And take my passport out again, and just replace it

See I could do without a tan on my left hand

where my fourth finger meets my knuckle

And I should run you a hot bath, fill it up with bubbles

 

‘cause maybe you’re loveable, and maybe you’re my snowflake

And your eyes turn from green to grey in the winter

I’ll hold you in a cold place

And you should never cut your hair

‘cause I love the way you flick it off your shoulder

And you will never know

just how beautiful you are to me

But maybe I’m just in love when you wake me up

 

And would you ever feel guilty if you did the same to me?

Would you make me a cup of tea to open my eyes in the right way?

And I know you love Shrek

‘cause we’ve watched it twelve times

But maybe you’re hoping for a fairytale too

And if your DVD breaks today, you should’ve got a VCR

‘cause I never owned a Blu-ray, true say

 

And I’ve always been shit at computer games

and your brother always beats me

And if I lost, I’d go across and chuckle all the controllers at the TV

and then you’d laugh at me

And be asking me if I’m going to be home next week

And then you’d lie with me until I fall asleep

and flutter an eyelash on my cheek between the sheets

And you will never know

just how beautiful you are to me

But maybe I’m just in love when you wake me up

 

And I think you hate the smell of smoke

you always try to get me to stop

But you drink as much as me, and I get drunk a lot

So I take you to the beach, and walk along the sand

And I’ll make you a heart pendant with a pebble held in my hand

And I’ll carve it like a necklace

so the heart falls where your chest is

And now a piece of me is a piece of the beach

And it falls just where it needs to be and rests peacefully

So you just need to breathe to feel my heart against yours now

against yours now

 

But maybe I’m just in love when you wake me up

Well maybe I’m just in love when you wake me up

Maybe I fell in love when you woke me up
