lyrics

There’s emotion in the way she breathes
I looked close enough so I could see
By the time I realised the reflection in her eyes
Was a painting of mine
 
I was done
And she was gone
 
Watched the tail lights as they fade
Oh, that’s such a cliché these days
Truth is I stood there as she walked away
 
Now you got two spare tickets for the plane back home
I had the fire waiting to keep us warm
But I know you need to travel on
So to your three ‘c’ words I say “So long, go on and hit the road”
 
Was it death defying chemistry?
Or did you just lie to get close to me?
When you disappeared until days made weeks
It got a little hard to prove that you still exist
 
When you’re just a fantasy
Some kind of make believe
 
And still I had the bunting on my bed tied tight
Oh, just in case you would stay the night
When I took it down a while ago
I got sick of waking in the middle of the night, shaking cold
 
When it was all I had to hold
Triangular pieces of your clothes
 
And I hear you got two spare tickets for the plane back home
Here’s your chance to become invincible
‘Cause I thought no one wanted to be alone
Well I guess that means you’ve found someone to love, or at least a fuck
 
Yeah half your luck
Well I’m still stuck
 
And I hear you got two spare tickets for the plane back home
(For the plane back home)
Here’s your chance to become invincible
And I thought no one wanted to die alone
And so instead of three jinxed words I say…
 
You got two spare tickets for the plane home
And the right and the reason, the timing wrong
You got two spare tickets
For the plane
