[00:19.61]Pete is a young man
[00:20.86]Heart full of rain
[00:22.02]Eyes full of evenings
[00:23.27]Spent in a dream
[00:24.52]Grew up in a city where you master your pain
[00:26.85]Or you end up numb, not feeling
[00:29.52]Becky is a young woman
[00:30.77]Heart full of earth
[00:32.02]Eyes full of mornings
[00:33.17]Spent without sleeping
[00:34.57]Grew up in a city where it’s hard to be heard
[00:36.78]And nothing really has much meaning
[00:39.54]Pete had his heart broke once
[00:41.22]He never fixed it
[00:41.94]Sits there in his chest
[00:43.03]With his arms crossed, screwing
[00:44.24]Becky had her heart broke twice
[00:46.36]She won’t risk it again
[00:47.12]She don’t wanna see her heart get ruined
[00:49.34]And now she’s on her way
[00:50.48]To wash up and take the orders
[00:51.83]For spaghetti
[00:52.59]At Giuseppe’s
[00:53.13]The café on the corner
[00:54.33]She did the night shift too
[00:55.14]A masseuse at the sauna
[00:56.72]She’s putting herself through uni
[00:58.36]It’s hard work
[01:00.20]But will it be this way forever?
[01:02.75]These are lonely days
[01:04.85]What if she could be the one that makes it better?
[01:07.21]He looks away, can’t hold her gaze
[01:10.11]But will it be this way forever?
[01:12.29]These are stressful times
[01:14.47]What if he could be the one that gets her?
[01:17.00]She looks away, she’s petrified
[01:19.59]‘Now, have you thought about retail?’
[01:20.56]‘Yes, fine with me’
[01:21.62]‘Oh and I can see here that you have a degree’
[01:24.02]‘Yes,’ says Pete, ‘in International Relations.’
[01:25.86]‘Great
[01:27.20]Let’s see if Primark has space for a placement.’
[01:29.15]Becky clears up from the lunch rush Crushed
[01:31.81]By the blank eyes
[01:33.14]Impolite customers thrusting
[01:34.12]Their damp fives
[01:35.13]Into her palms, she thinks
[01:36.41]'There ain’t no harm in being civil though, Is there?'
[01:39.29]He folds up his job form
[01:40.52]Gets up from his chair
[01:41.61]The next person sits down with a similar air
[01:44.06]Of dejection
[01:45.06]He walks out, heads in the direction
[01:46.52]Of the café on the corner
[01:47.66]For a coffee and some headroom
[01:48.90]This guy comes in
[01:50.15]The first customer to close the door behind him For that alone she likes him
[01:53.46]He sits at the table by the window
[01:55.04]Reading, half smiling
[01:56.38]His hair’s messy and his eyes are shining
[01:58.58]Can’t think what to say, he just stares blankly
[02:01.12]Picks up his change, fiddles with his spoon
[02:03.58]And as he leaves the café he’s consumed
[02:05.81]With thoughts of her
[02:06.76]Wishing that he’d got up the guts
[02:07.81]To try and talk to her
[02:09.91]Will it be this way forever?
[02:12.01]These are lonely days
[02:14.42]What if she could be the one that makes it better?
[02:16.55]He looks away, can’t hold her gaze
[02:19.63]And will it be this way forever?
[02:22.20]These are stressful times
[02:23.84]What if he could be the one that gets her?
[02:26.26]She looks away, she’s petrified
[02:29.01]It’s Becky’s mate’s birthday
[02:29.99]They’re out for the night
[02:31.06]Now, Becky’s mate is the nightmare type
[02:32.75]She’d flirt with anyone
[02:33.78]Scream at the top of her voice
[02:35.24]But it’s her birthday so Becky
[02:37.39]Don’t really have a choice
[02:38.70]He sees her in the queue
[02:39.87]He doesn’t know what to do
[02:40.85]She’s more beautiful than he remembers
[02:42.81]Then she says
[02:43.74]‘Alright?’
[02:44.51]And he tries to say something funny
[02:45.87]But stutters
[02:46.68]And now he feels like a muppet and blushes (No, No, No)
[02:48.92]Inside it’s the usual scene
[02:49.86]They’re dancing at the bar, waiting to get served
[02:52.82]Becky’s mate’s screaming about something absurd
[02:55.22]And they’re all fake laughing
[02:56.79]Even though nobody heard a word
[02:58.53]So now he’s hunting around the room
[02:59.70]Staring into every booth
[03:00.62]The back of every head could be hers
[03:02.74]It’s no use
[03:03.45]He stops by the bar, thinking
[03:04.76]'Man, I’ll never find her'
[03:05.68]And then he realises that he’s standing beside her
[03:08.12]He stands there awkward
[03:10.49]His eyes are as loud as the bass
[03:11.12]And she can recognise something in his face
[03:13.30]She scribbles down her number
[03:14.76]Lingering glance
[03:15.72]And lets herself think
[03:17.11]Maybe this could be her chance
[03:18.34]Will it be this way forever?
[03:21.49]These are lonely days
[03:23.88]What if she could be the one that makes it better?
[03:26.17]He looks away, can’t hold her gaze
[03:28.83]And will it be this way forever?
[03:31.36]These are stressful times
[03:33.51]What if he could be the one that gets her?
[03:35.82]She looks away, she’s petrified
[03:38.34]Will it be this way forever?
[03:40.29]These are lonely days
[03:43.38]What if she could be the one that makes it better?
[03:45.67]He looks away, can’t hold her gaze
[03:48.73]And will it be this way forever?
[03:51.06]These are stressful times
[03:53.51]What if he could be the one that gets her?
[03:55.82]She looks away, she’s petrified
