Empty Wrappers Lyrics

Empty wrappers on the floor 

Left from countless nights before 

When you were too lazy to cook yourself a meal

You haven't stepped outside in days 

Trying to conjure up a way

To tell that certain someone how you really feel 

What you fail to understand 

Is that you're hardly in demand 

There's 50 others just like you already in stock 

Your thinking "any day she'll see, that there's no one quite like me

Cause I've got funny coloured patterns on my socks"

There's no easy fix but you need one quick 

Cause you're starting to resonate with every song

Hedge your bets who'll she'll go with next 

And win your fortune proving everyone wrong

And it's no secret, you're in deep and 

Your friends can tell you cause they've seen it before 

Brush them all aside like those

Empty wrappers on the floor 

14 Months and you've held you're tongue 

Waiting on just the right moment to come 

You'll buy her flowers, and talk for hours 

She'll realise you were under her nose all along 

You hear her name and see her face 

In every sound and crowded place 

And only half of you really wants it all to stop

The other half is well-convinced 

Of every trope and movie script 

That justify the good nights' sleep you lost 

You should know better to believe you're clever

Enough to trick her into thinking you are the one

No easy fix but you need one quick 'cause

How can you resonate with every song?

And it's no secret, every weekend

Your friends just tell you what they told you before

Brush them all aside and you

Toss them right into the fire like those

Empty wrappers on the floor

On the floor
