West End

There's a square on the west end
Called 'Marie Anne's High'
It's the place where I met you
The very first time
Wearing blue shoes, a white shirt
And an innocent smile
Lasting for a while

Didn't take us a minute
To unpack our lives
You have a dead sister
And I'm dealing with frights
After eight blocks and three bars
Some laughter and wine
I kissed you and you didn't mind

You said things like 'I like you'
And I said 'I do too'
Spent the summer in bed
At the lake, climbing roofs
You're friends were quite awkward
And your taste was it too
Still I started to miss you

The days got shorter
And so did your calls
Scrolling through pictures
You're posting abroad
A lot in the office
And your mum is not fine
'Sorry, I don't have much time.'

Wearing blue shoes, a white shirt
And a bittersweet smile
We met at the west end street
'Pentonville Drive'
You said things like 'I like you'
And 'Thanks for the time.'
It's the place where you said goodbye
