Lyrics

He was the king of random fancy
an incorrigible flirt
He liked to try to put her on a pedestal
just so he could look up her skirt
But he’s changing
And she is nobody’s girlfriend
He doesn’t mind
Dormant desires which are better kept clandestine

He captured her imagination
a brutal vista on the map
She thought she felt her will break, but it was the weather
From a chilling wind to a full-fledged cold snap
We will be lazy with our language and comfortable with our clothes off
We will say just what we have in mind
And she’s still nobody’s girlfriend
He doesn’t mind
Dormant desires which are better kept clandestine

The way you want it is just the way it’s going to be
And if that’s the way you want it, it’s just the way it’s going to be
the only version you’ll see
me at my worst is either broken up or broken down
broken up
or broken down

Quotes

Aaron: One of the best songs we've written, but it's had a troubled history. An early version of it, recorded during the KJV sessions, never came together: We revisited it later, when Roderick and Squires were in the band, and made a difficult but entrancing recording of it.10A

Sean: The one that got away.DSS
