The Streets - You Are Not the Voice in Your Head lyrics

I look at my watch for the time this second
But then at my phone to confirm it's true
She comes back in from the bathroom smelling
The same as before but I guess a bit new
"There's no such thing as a joke" she says
There's only jest with the truth
But she accepts the apology I never said
And I get on with attempting to be cute
Her eyes look photoshopped catch like wet
Could see the reflection back behind my head
Every time her eyes closed I
Dreamed a whole thread
That reality was better than the truth
I said "I hope girls will start to instead
Cos' now men can't try the first move"
I knew it wasn't clever it
Was wrong saying 'owt
Her eyes rolled like a fruit
Machine not paying out
She said "Don't be that guy
When we've only just met
Don't try the trousers of
What doesn't suit you"

You are not the voice in your head
You're the one who listens to it

She checked her feed and I
Grabbed at the menu and I felt like a child
Letting go of a balloon
I said "It's just too hard to
Know how to tread i
Mean more time guys that just try to keep it
Moving no more time guys become
An all over rash and
It takes you by shock if
It's just fucking ew"
I was leaning in to try and
Get a little bit friendly
We were shooting up the bar
With arrows of cupid
Wondered whether she felt like she
Was sitting in a bath
And then moved and was cold
And was covered in goosebumps
Said if me and her threw
Our problems on a stack
I would see hers and I would want mine back

You are not the voice in your head
You're the one who listens to it
You are not the voice in your head
You're the one who listens to it

In the real world girls aren't making moves
Someone needs to if we want
The race to continue
I pointed but we almost near enough touched
She remained still and didn't duck
When we didn't touch you're all lost
You're eating sweets at the seaside
When we need to be free so
We can free you guys you kissed the toy then
Avoid what's important
You missed the point like
You missed the toilet awkward
Thirsty trying to corner off
She caught me at my worst like
The boy in my corner shop
How the hell's a man supposed to
Know why you are saying things
When it is against the rules
To find out straight
Despite what it might seem
Like it's fucking implicit
What someone thinks about you is
None of your business

You are not the voice in your head
You're the one who listens to it
You are not the voice in your head
You're the one who listens to it
