Nickel & Wood - Nits

They spread a rumour around

That you will be home late tonight

You bought a one way ticket

To the heart of the city

I’ve been painting the town

In the company of strangers

I’m on a one way street

To the heart of the night

It doesn’t matter what they say

I compare you with my old shoe

That doesn’t fit anymore

Though it’s not the size

It doesn’t fit anymore

Now it’s just the price I have to pay

It doesn’t matter what they say

I’ve been waiting here all day

And then I finally

Put my arms around you

It’s hurting me and I’m so ashamed

You’re still the same

Nickel and wood

They spread a rumour around

That you will be home late tonight

You bought a one way ticket

To that heart of mine

It doesn’t matter what they say

They compare us with old shoes

That didn’t fit anymore

Though it’s not the truth

I admit it once more

After all these years

We’re still the same
