Life To Get Back To

Twenty-four hours left
You said you had a bet
That Gloucester road station
The face you were making
Are things that I wouldn't forget
The place that you laid your head
Before we got out of bed
The words you were saying
They'll keep on replaying
Until I can see you again

Don't know when that'll be
Soon hopefully

You make London pretty
Even in the rain
I wish I could stay
But I know I gotta get back to
The mundane and the busy
The rent I gotta pay
I wish I could stay
But I've got a life to get back to
But maybe one day I'll get back to you

The way that you waved goodbye
Until I was out of sight
The way that I held it together
Until I was boarding my ten hour flight
Is us pretending like we have a plan
Like you could come out with your band
At the end of May, yeah you'll come to LA
And I'll pick you up when you land

Don't know when that'll be
Soon hopefully

You make London pretty
Even in the rain
I wish I could stay
But I know I gotta get back to
The mundane and the busy
The rent I gotta pay
I wish I could stay
But I've got a life to get back to
But maybe one day I'll get back to

Laughing at our accents
Every time that we would speak
Falling asleep next to you
To the hum of the TV
Double dates in Hammersmith
And we're the last to leave
Don't know when that'll be
But soon hopefully

'Cause you make London pretty
Even in the rain
I wish I could stay
But I know I gotta get back to
The mundane and the busy
The rent I gotta pay
I wish I could stay
But I've got a life to get back to
But maybe one day I'll get back
To you
