If We Were Words (We Would Rhyme) - Gruff Rhys

Wandering hearts

Ticking together

But always apart

Open the door and the future restarts

But I’d never claim you were mine

Just if we were words we would rhyme

Caution then regret

A cowardly dog barking empty threats

Backtracking

Dancing

As patterns are set

But I’d never claim you were mine

Just if we were words we would rhyme

Picked and processed within twenty seven days

Delivery free

Send me round the globe and back again to you a flower

Wheels come off and hobble over to the next replacement of choice

But you were the sentence that gave me a voice

Now I cry

As we by the by

And I will always wonder

How it would be if we never had met

Life would be easier

But dull

I suspect

You’d ask me to keep it discreet

So I’ll sing a song of deceit

And I’d never claim you were mine

Just if we were words

We would rhyme

If we were words

We would rhyme
