lyrics

If you were to ever go I'd miss you
like a vampire misses sleep.
Like how the sand would miss the sea,
or how the Beauty would miss the Beast.
I need you here like an iron lung.
To keep me breathing through the day.
Like how a hot day needs the breeze to blow.
Like how the winter needs the snow.

If you have to leave, out on your heels,
I'd keep it together somehow.
I will always be longing to be where I am now.

and if you ever strayed I'd miss you,
like the oceans would miss the waves.
Like how a house fire longs for rain.
Like how the scarecrow needed a brain.
I'd feel the loss like an open wound,
your silence like a draft.
I need you like a double bed needs two lovers inside,
like how a sitcom needs a laugh.

If you have to leave, out on your heels,
I'd keep it together somehow.
I will always be longing to be where I am now.
If you were to go, off on your toes,
I'd keep it together somehow,
but I will long to be exactly where I am now.

If you go and you wont come back
I'd feel your silence like a draft.

If you have to leave, out on your heels,
I'd keep it together somehow.
I will always be longing to be where I am now.
If you were to go, off on your toes,
I'd keep it together somehow,
but I will long to be exactly where I am now.

But I know you'll never go.
I know you'll never leave.
We go together like tea and toast.
Needle and thread.
Stamp and envelope.

If you were to ever go I'd miss you
like a vampire misses sleep.
Like how the sand would miss the sea,
or how the Beauty would miss the Beast.

Skellums Wales, UK

Skellums was formed because there was nothing else left to do.

Underneath all the dirty guitars and drums, there lives a pop song. Skellums believe, that as long as you have a melody, you can get away with all sorts.
