Keaton Henson - About Sophie lyrics

She's an unwelcome shutter on the
Worst of her days
And despite the bad moods, she won't go away
She's as stubborn as winter and
As kind as the sun
And she won't freeze or burn anyone
On most days she drives me home
Out of her way
And when I say "drive safe" I mean it, today

Cause, I'm a tough luck friend
I reckon she'll stay with me til the end
And it means more than I pretend
Her car's like a sauna made mostly of smoke
And it glides back to hers most
Late nights like a ghost
And nothing is said unless it needs to be
I'll watch a movie, she'll fall asleep
She's one of those who when you're talking
You'll see:
She's really listening to someone like me
Why would she listen to someone like me?

Cause, I'm a tough shit friend
I reckon she'll stay with me 'til the end
And it means more than I pretend

And I know I'm awful, I can't even cry
It's about time I told her
And looked in her eyes:
"You're my best friend
I'll love you 'til one of us dies
You're my best friend
I'll love you 'til one of us dies
You're my best friend
I'll love you 'til one of us dies"
