I'm Waking Up to Us Songtext
von Belle and Sebastian

I need someone to take some joy and something I do
You need a man who′s either rich or losing a screw
You know I love you, here's the irony
You′re going to walk away intact
I think you never liked me anyway
You like yourself and you like
Men to kiss your arse
Expensive clothes, please stop me there
I think I'm waking up to us, we're a disaster
You don′t want to know me
′Cause you move in circles of the brave
Where art defines their lives
She was the one love of my life, and I let her go
And if I look like death today, then please let her know


I never wanted to do harm to her
I only wanted her to see
The beauty of the world surrounding her
But when she opened up her eyes
It's much too late
Our chance has gone, she′s with a guy
Who takes the prize for everything I ever showed her
Digging all the fun because she's older
I fed her with a spoon
I made her mother smile, I helped the kid survive
She was the one love of my life
She showed me the road
I loved her dog, her steady gaze
The chapter is closed
I always wanted all the best for her
The best thing was to stay away

She grew up and she left the rest of us
And now the understanding′s gone
I haven't changed, how could I?
I′m pretty much the same person
I cannot keep the anger hidden anymore
But lucky for you, you are not around
My anger turns to pity and to love
The season has arrived, the season has arrived
