about

It's about a break up at a music festival, the couple are both in their mid to late teens, the girl probably has better taste in music than the boy but he's mainly just annoyed that he doesn't understand it (and indeed, that she doesn't want him any more). Don't break up at a music festival, espescially not if you have to get the coach home with the now-ex at the end of it

lyrics

You're on yr back in the acoustic tent
And I'm through with singer-songwriters
Like your through saying "we"
From field to field we try to feel
A little more than the choral collectivity
That you love more than me

Maybe if we tried to be nicer to each other
We'd still be together come Monday morning
But I don't see it happening
Maybe if we at least tried to be civil
We'd still be together on Monday, but oh
I forsee a long awkward journey home

My bloodstream saturated with sugar
Sugar and caffeine and liquour
And my ears bleeding from the noise
You go off to wrap yourself in
Authentic alternative freak folk
And to start flirting with older boys

And we can hide from the mess inside your tent
But trips to the main stage won't save us now
I walk into the crowd to drown
And wish I could drag you down

So we can't pull ourselves together
But if you'll hold my heavy heart
Maybe we can pretend that we still like one another
Maybe we can force something like we had at the start
So we can't pull ourselves together
But if you'll hold my house-sized heart
Maybe we can prented that we still like one another
Maybe we can force something like we had at the start

Maybe if we were a little nicer to each other
We'd still be together come Monday morning
But I don't see that happening
Maybe if we at least tried to be civil
We'd still be together on Monday, but oh
I forsee a long awkward journey home

And you can let yourself back in
You know I would forgive this (x3)
And you can let yourself back in
You know I'd forgive anything
