Fast Car to Florence - English Skin Lyrics

She said, 'can't you leave the light on?
I'm not thinking very straight
And if I could, I would take you home with me
Just to chase the blues away
Got a bed for you to die on
And a floor to lose your way'
I know I should, I should snap it out of you
But I'm a sucker for a saint

Shine a light on all you know
Take a seat and watch it glow
It's a long night for leaving it all on show

Did I say too much?
Did I say too much?
Did I say too much again?
Did I go for broke and leave you without a friend?
Did I pull the strings?
Did I let you in?
Did I fail to play pretend?
Did I say too much?
Did I say too much again?

Won't you tell me something awful
While I stay and wish for you?
I'd cross my fingers and close my eyes
If you'd promise me that it won't come true

Now you're taking shots at building blocks
And breathing in the lines you should've dropped
But it's enough
Was never what I really want

You've got English skin and British bones
You're a shining soul in a broken home
It's okay that you're never gonna let it go

Did I say too much?
Did I say too much?
Did I say too much again?
Did I go for broke and leave you without a friend?
Did I miss a verse?
Did I strike a nerve?
Did I fail to play pretend?
Did I say too much?
Did I say too much again?
Say too much again

'Cos I'm overweight and underpaid
I'm just trying to find some clarity
And the difference in seeing and believing
If you're over-dressed and under-slept
If those endless nights are what we all do best
I'm not sure that I could reach it
No

Did I say too much?
Did I say too much?
Did I say too much again?
Did I go for broke and leave you without a friend?
Did I pull the strings?
Did I let you in?
Did I fail to play pretend?
Did I say too much?
Did I say too much again?
Did I say too much again?
