Cotton Wool

[Verse 1] You took on the tasks headstrong I had a plaster on my finger Like a playground accident Waiting around to be stitched up And wrapped in cotton wool You slept in peace quite soundly Like an innocent prisoner does We'd be so free if our mouths stayed shut [Chorus] Can I talk to you before your mouth opens? Life is a long lesson [Verse 2] Maybe I should've spent less time on luxury I couldn't afford to be a face If three's a crowd, then two was you And three was me Dancing around without my hardhat On the building site of destiny's work in progress [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Would you keep my vital organs warm? Would you tell me if I've gone too far? Would you keep my vital organs warm? Would you tell me? Would you tell me? [Chorus] Are we waving goodbye for the last time? I thought we'd already done that I'll be answering the tip line But watch nobody come forward The line is dead, its awkward It's feeling unimportant
