"Mascara" lyrics

"Mascara"

I'll romanticise the gum under my shoe
Sticking to Clapton Station platform
Not knowing which train or direction to choose

I'll romanticise the outlines of your spine
As you lie on the tatami mat
With your head between my thighs

I'll romanticise running up the oak
When the crooked branch snapped
And caught your navy blue coat and you fell down

I'll romanticise these days long gone
And I'll romanticise the times yet to come

And I'll romanticise this life
As though we could live it twice

And then we dance
At 3AM at Mascara Bar
Oh we dance
As you walk me to my door under the sky that has no stars
Then we dance
Oh, how I miss you
Oh, I wanna kiss you
And then we dance
Woven in each other's tissue
Fill all my holes with you
Oh, we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance
And then we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance

I'll romanticise the things we talked about and never did
It's water under the bridge
Cucumbers sandwich lovers
Softly kissing your eye lids

I'll romanticise wearing sunglasses in pitch dark
Dressed to the nines, walking in circles around Hackney Downs Park

I'll romanticise these days long gone
I'll romanticise the times yet to come

And I'll romanticise this life
As though we could live it twice

And then we dance
At 3AM at Mascara Bar
Oh we dance
As you walk me to my door under the sky that has no stars
Then we dance
Oh how I miss you
Oh I wanna kiss you
And then we dance
Woven in each other's tissue
Fill all my holes with you
Then we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance
Oh, and then we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance
Oh, and then we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance
Oh, we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance, we dance

I'll romanticise this life
As though we could live it twice
