Lyrics

Watson

[Verse 1]

I went walkin'

To clear my head of the buzzin'

And I went, I went stumbling past your car

[Verse 2]

Then all the bad blood

Down in my bones came a-rushin', singin'

"Who's gonna love you when she's gone?"

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause it took such a heavy light just to find you in the first place

Through all that rain and remaining fog

[Chorus]

But if you're thinking you might wanna stay with me

I don't wanna go on my own

Lord, I worry when I get old, I'll be lonesome

Chasin' all the umbrellas in London

Every footstep in Angel Station

For even the scent of her perfume again

Watching detectives chase the one that got away

The one that got away

[Verse 3]

And who would be the heart

She'd hold on after mine?

I bet he's a fine upstanding man

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause it took such a heavy light just to find you in the first place

But "Do what you love," I once heard you say

[Chorus]

But if you're thinking you might wanna stay with me

I don't wanna go on my own

Lord, I worry when I get old, I'll be lonesome

Chasin' all the umbrellas in London

Every footstep in Angel Station

For even the scent of her perfume again

Watching detectives chase the one that got away

Oh, the one that got away

[Bridge]

I remember how we danced

Through the towns on the Thames

For one little night, I felt like I could be made new again

And you stayed here with me while I lost nearly everything

"But what do you really love?" I heard you say

[Chorus]

If you're thinking you might wanna stay with me

'Cause I don't wanna go on my own

Lord, I worry when I get old, I'll be lonesome

Chasin' all the umbrellas in London

Every footstep in Angel Station

For even the scent of her perfume again

Watching detectives chase the one that got away

The one that got away

The one that got away

[Outro]

Hang on Watson, hang on Watson

(I don't want to go on my own)
