Fool for you

Liner Notes

For Hugo, for whom I am a fool

Lyrics

The first day it was simple, just two old family friends
The adult’s university reunion, didn’t know what to expect
When you walked in you were smiling, even after the drive
I showed you round my aunt’s house, you caught me by surprise
I’m not one to be won over by just a single glance
But within a couple minutes I was staring at my hands
You turned me shy and awkward with every word you said
You laid out all the ropes and I got tangled in your net

Now I’m a fool for you darling
I’m a fool for you
But you’re a way across the country
We were always doomed
But I don’t want you to go yet
I don’t want you to leave
I’m such a fool for you darling
Are you a fool for me?

The second day my thoughts were running around my mind
I didn’t know what words to choose, so I stumbled every time
I didn’t want to look an idiot but you were struggling too
You laughed at all my jokes, I think i started to like you
The third day it was flawless, we looked up at the stars
Frozen skin pressed together, I could almost hear your heart
We counted down to new year’s, your eyes locked with mine
As the clock on the wall ticked over to midnight in twenty twenty five

I was a fool for you darling
I’m a fool for you
I fell faster than light speed
We were always doomed
But I think we could actually do this
If we give it a try
I’m such a fool for you darling
I won’t ever get tired

The last day it was awful, I watched you pull out from the drive
I waved from the window while you sped out of my life
It cut me deep to see you leave, don’t know when we’ll meet again
Now you’re miles away and I miss you and I should be sleeping
But I couldn’t push you from my mind, not then on new year’s day
I was lost without you then and some things never change
Then your name appears on my screen, it’s like you never left
Please don’t be a stranger, i’ll get the train at your request

I’m still a fool for you darling
Still a fool for you
I’ll travel across the country
Whatever I have to do
We can make this thing work
Give it a year or two
I’ll still be a fool for you darling
I’m always a fool for you
