Lyrics as ive worked them out but they are subject to change as
dempsey has to change a few lyrics now and then live:

Verse one:
you make it look so easy
and you seem to fit inside
your own skull so comfortably
and i havent been myself lately
and thankyou the pressure has been all mine
as i wait for my pulse to catch up with me

Chorus:
If i could leave here today then i would
If i could change my face and my name then i would
If i could run to some technicolour place then i would
If i could learn from my mistakes

Verse 2:
the lights come back on
and what has my imagination done for me lately?
I sit in this chair
concentrating on a crack in the ceiling
and thankyou, thankyou
the pressure has been all mine
as i wait for my breathe to catch up with me

Chorus 2:
If i could see with your eyes then i would
If i could change my face and my name then i would
If i could run to some technicolour place then i would
If i could learn from my mistakes

Break:
OOoooooooohhhhh
OOoooooooohhhhh
I would, I would

Yeah you make it look so
easy
Yeah you make me
seasick

End
If i could leave here today then i would
If i could change then i would
If i could run then i would
If i could fly then i would
I would
