Versions of Us

[Verse 1: Kele Okereke]

Fall back, fall back

You lost the right to come at me

Call time or call a truce

Will we make it through the year?

We’re doing all the things

We said we’d never do

Bickering behind closed doors

Now, the truth might hurt but lies are worse

Turn to face me

What have I become to you?

[Chorus: Kele Okereke]

See I know I’ve started to lose you

See I know you’ve started to slip from my reach

If we could be the best versions of us

We could be

For one last night

[Verse 2: Corrine Bailey Rae]

Hold back, you’re holding back

It’s impossible to get to you

I’ll try to tear down these walls

My throat is burning

And my hands are sore

We’re doing all the things

I thought we’d never do

Silence as an act of war

At night I lie awake

And still there’s nothing said

How can we begin again?

[Chorus: Kele Okereke and Corrine Bailey Rae]

See I know I’ve started to lose you

See I know you’ve started to slip from my reach

If we could be the best versions of us

We could be

For one last night

[Outro: Kele Okereke]

And it wasn’t my intention

To bring up past resentments

And it wasn’t my intention to burn

For once I’d like to be the

One who’s held, not holds

Is that alright?

You owe me that
