Should I get a piano, should I get a new phone?

Should I try to get you alone for a minute or two

Like there’s energy in my head
Am
Like there’s somebody in my bed

And it’s you, and the room is yours too

Nowhere to go, nothing to do
G
Except lie here with you

Nowhere (nowhere)
 
Nothing (nothing)
 
Nowhere (nowhere)

Except lie here with you

No one but you

Should I move this chair into the middle of the room?

Except lie here with you

On top of the wardrobe there’s a basket of sheets

And a perfume bottle and a couple of keys

Should I turn on the lamp, should I cover it with a shirt

I’m alright with whatever, just say the word
