Regent Street Lyrics

Thursday night on Regent Street

The snow is falling down

Standing under Christmas lights

Lighting up this town

I'm sad you couldn't make it

I just wish you were around

Oh I thought if I was healing

I'd be better by now

I'll make my way to Marble Arch

Hide myself underground

Cos standing in a crowd of people

Drowns the heartbreak out

You'd say that that's a Northern thing

But Ipswich ain't so south

Did I second-guess the meaning

Of every word from your mouth?

Why can't we find the middle ground?

Why do we make this harder than it sounds?

Running round in circles

Hoping I'd bump into you

Only now that we are over

I need a better excuse

Signatures on paperwork

Divide our mutual friends

Time spent pulling at the threads

Created more loose ends

I thought if I could reach you

Maybe we could start again

But if we blame it on the distance

Then at least I could pretend

Why can't we find the middle ground?

Why do we make this harder than it sounds?

Running round in circles

Hoping I'd bump into you

Only now that we are over

I need a better excuse

I hope we reach the time

When things can be different

Can't you see that I'm

Trying

Why can't we find the middle ground?

Why do we make this harder than it sounds?

Running round in circles

Hoping I'd bump into you

Only now that we are over

I need a better excuse
