lyrics

these are the things you do, i don't know if i like them, but i know i like you. anyway i see them with a smile. anyway i lounge by them for a while. you swagger when you’re feeling unsure. how you tell it is always skewed from what you saw. you take the aisle seat at the cinema. you can’t work out how to change a doona cover. these are the things you do, i don't know if i like them, but i know i like you. anyway i see them with a smile, anyway i lounge by them for a while. you hate magpies, they give you a scare. you punctuate outrageous comments with extravagant flair. you take the longest time to say just one thing. you can’t work out how to sing in tune but that’s ok cos you’ve got great enthusiasm. and i know that i cry when i’m tired and i know that i twitch when i’m inspired and i poke my tongue when i think and i air-guitar when i drink and you bear these idiosyncrasies.
