1. Playing for real

Finding my feet, making my way, yeah
Found you by my side day after day, yeah
You were so confident, what could I say?
Caught in a happy confusion

I had no clue, no light for my path, yeah
You took my hand stood back with a laugh, yeah
Taking me anywhere on love’s behalf
Caught in a happy illusion

I know you were playing
But you played it for real
Those things we were saying
I tried hard to feel
I wanted to fit in
I wanted to know
Untutored unwitting
A long time ago

You took me back home to help you with school, yeah
Your arm came around so artlessly cool, yeah
Who was the clever one, who was the fool?
Caught in a happy intrusion

You tried very hard but gave up the wait, yeah
Soon realised my sorry state, yeah
Went on to find out your bittersweet fate
Caught in a happy collusion

Now that you’ve gone we’ll never look back, yeah
See our young selves down an old dusty track, yeah
