Number One

I looked up and all I could see was mist
Who needs course when you're perfectly adrift
I've got a friend who knows just how it is
We walked a while and watched the sun arrive
Drinking and planning, hey, you know anytime
You wanna sing, I'm here, just like tonight
Golden storm, put that hurricane away
I wasn't flattered when you named it after me
I wanna lay down almost constantly 'cause
I know just how to look the other way
It was so much easier yesterday
When the door was open and we're just running far
Come on, let's close it
And I'll call you number one
Number one
Number one
You're reading books about how it all should work
Written by a man who's never seen the world
Or a garden come into colour
In that North-West town where the streets are overrun
Punk rock kids do what they've always done
Time can stop, I was the lucky one
Blue blood runs out into the street
TV shows rewarding treachery
I'm watching now and I won't be the same time next week
Just to learn how to look away
I wanna understand yesterday
When the door was open and we're just running far
Come on, let's close it
And I'll call you number one
Number one
Number one
Number one
Don't let him run the race
Come out of your hiding place
I look into your eyes, but don't know how they work
Desire is power and trust is just a word
Remember when we met? I was young and you were hurt
Maybe we should talk about what's at stake
You don't have to feel like shit and say it's okay
Or pretend to be asleep while you're dreaming of
Being awake
