Earlier Lyrics

My head was somewhere underground

I couldn't believe what I had found

What did you say that you couldn't have said earlier?

What did you say that you couldn't have said earlier?

I thought the sky had fallen in

I wasn't sure where I had been

What did you mean that you didn't mean earlier?

What did you mean that you didn't mean earlier, is it me or is it you?

Now you're looking for someone to take the blame

Your excuses are sounding rather lame

So you're walking out but I don't know why

You didn't want to give it a try

Everything I hear appears to sound much the same

It seems to me to be an awful shame

You say you're sorry but really you must fly

What's it like to be living a lie?

I bought you fish and chips last night

And now today you want to fight

What did you think that you didn't think earlier?

What did you think that you didn't think earlier?

I saw what's written on your hand

Since when did you listen to that band?

Would you have picked up if I'd called you earlier?

Would you have picked up if I'd called you earlier, is it me or is it you?

Now you're looking for someone to take the blame

Your excuses are sounding rather lame

So you're walking out but I don't know why

You didn't want to give it a try.

Everything I hear appears to sound much the same

It seems to me to be such a shame

You say you're sorry but really you must fly

What's it like to be living a lie, I'm not the type to sit and wonder why

Now you're looking for someone to take the blame

Your excuses sound a little lame

So you're walking out but I don't know why

You didn't want to give it a decent try

Everything I hear is sounding much the same

It seems to me to be an awful shame

You say you're sorry but you must really fly

What's it like to be living a lie, I'm not the type to be wondering why, you didn't even bother to try
