I had not predicted and who could have known
The outcomes not favourable, it has been shown
Can I appeal on compassionate grounds

Now the horse has bolted so to speak
Then there's us then there's them
Then there's you then there's me
This situation was never destined for simplicity

Why do I have to ignore your kiss
I've never kissed anybody like this
You brush your shoulder
And I feel it all over, it's all over

I don't want to have to pretend
This lover comes to me first as a friend
Not meant to be or even happen

Believe me I can see where you all are coming from
Any chance you can undo all the work that you've done
On this involuntary rare kind collision

This could not be described as pleasurable
Cupids arrow missed you and hit me with two
Clemency pl ease for these tears are hot and plentiful

Why do I have to ignore your kiss
I've never kissed anybody like this
You brush your shoulder
And I feel it all over, it's all over

I don't want to have to pretend
This lover comes to me first as a friend
Not meant to be or even happen

The situation is so unpleasantly cruel
The distance I am assumed to respect is for whom
Do I really have to wait for the another lifetime

For now the casualty looks likely to be me
Spare the others how noble it would see
I am so damned fond of this incarnation

Why do I have to ignore your kiss
I've never kissed anybody like this
You brush your shoulder
And I feel it all over, it's all over

I don't want to have to pretend
This lover comes to me first as a friend
Not meant to be or even happen

I don't want to have to pretend
This lover comes to me first as a friend
Not meant to be or even happen
