This song is about John meeting a girl at a festival, they fell in love but they live miles apart. This meant they couldn’t start a relationship.
I need a little courage in my blood
The pieces move and dry my love
Trying hard to hide my loss
And I spilled cider on your dress
After two
I'm such a mess
You smile politely and brush it off
And I don't think I've met a girl like you before
So please don't let me down
Talking laughing
Now you're asking me around
And I won't let you down
My tea's gone cold
My hands gone numb
Wrapped around you waiting for the morning sun
Snuggle on over, come a little closer
You could be the one
Turn something ordinary into something fun
Now we're sober in this light
You look as good as you did last night
Just go on, and on, and on
But I'm from Cornwall, you're up north
We both know distances don't work
So will you meet me here next year?
And I don't think I've met a girl like you before
So please don't let me down
Talking laughing
Now you're asking me around
And I won't let you down
My tea's gone cold
My hands gone numb
Wrapped around you waiting for the morning sun
Snuggle on over, come a little closer
You could be the one
Turn something ordinary into something fun
Coming to the end of the show
Another tempo we both know
And I'll just hold before we go
You know I mean it literally
You've really left your mark on me
I won't forget you easily
My tea's gone cold
My hands gone numb
Wrapped around you waiting for the morning sun
Snuggle on over, come a little closer
You could be the one
Turn something ordinary into something fun
My tea's gone cold
My hands gone numb
Wrapped around you waiting for the morning sun
Snuggle on over, come a little closer
You could be the one
Turn something ordinary into something fun
Turn something ordinary into something fun
