If We Had A Mind (April)

Lyrics:

A made-for-TV movie
In an empty house on a ghost estate
A misremembered story
Our teeth stinging with the words we don't say
October stole our thunder, stole our blossoms in a song
Rain floods the walls of this room, blue lights off and on

We're in the clear and you're laughing at me
Over a book or a screen
We're falling forward you're dancing like me
Dropping hints, waiting for strangers to leave

We're in the clear and you're laughing at me
Over a book or a screen
We're falling forward you're dancing like me
Dropping hints, waiting for strangers to leave

And I miss
The drive to Donegal
The pee-stop sea swim
The smell of drying paint
The itch of the carpet on our knees
The way the ceiling spins from underneath
And if we had a mind we'd say
If we had a mind
If we had a mind we'd say
If we had a mind

We're in the clear and you're laughing at me (If we had a mind we'd say, if we had a mind)
Over a book or a screen (If we had a mind we'd say, if we had a mind)
We're falling forward you're dancing like me (If we had a mind we'd say, if we had a mind)
Dropping hints, waiting for strangers to leave (If we had a mind we'd say, if we had a mind)

We're in the clear and you're laughing at me (If we had a mind we'd say, if we had a mind)
Over a book or a screen (If we had a mind we'd say, if we had a mind)
We're falling forward you're dancing like me (If we had a mind we'd say, if we had a mind)
Dropping hints, waiting for strangers to leave
