Named after the city of Limassol in Cyprus.
This song was originally written by bassist Archis Tiku before lead singer Paul Smith joined the band. Smith took elements from the song, particularly the shouty line “Limassol”, and added it to other lyrics he wrote.
[Verse 1]
Thinking clearly never came
As easy as it did for you
Driving this route out of town
I wish you were still around
And in the dead of night I always
Wondered whether you were true
Someone better than myself
An offer you just can't turn down
[Pre-Chorus]
A morning fight and a wasted night
You crept back to your room
[Chorus]
Run along back to your new man
Limassol
Hold on, I couldn't trap you
We're gonna head for new horizons
Limassol
[Post-Chorus]
When it's all good, keep things close at hand
[Verse 2]
I could never bear to hear you
Struggling against the tide
Promises I couldn't keep
I couldn't admit I was in too deep
[Break down]
[Verse 3]
Saw the lights on in your window
Even though they said you'd gone
The darker nights have come again
Quicker than the year before
[Pre-Chorus]
A morning fight, a wasted night
You slinked back to your room
[Chorus]
You better run along back to your new man
Limassol
Hold on, I could never trap you
We're gonna head for new horizons
Limassol
[Outro]
When it's all good, keep things close at hand
And when it's all good you've got to keep things close at hand
