Same Direction

[Chorus: Jimothy Lacoste & Mike Skinner]

See me, I like to go my own way

We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction

If she can't move on, that's her problem, I'm good, that's her delay

We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction

[Verse 1: Mike Skinner]

Like owls in the night, we're up so late

Sympathy fiddle plays for a love that's wasted

Now is the time for a good idea

In the middle of the night when no one's up to take it

Two-eighty-one's getting done, damaged

Soleil was her name, like the sun in Paris

The air was silent, the only thing about her that was

From sundown 'til lunch

I wink, I was joking, if she snubs me

I'll take it slowly, she wears it, hell

She's lit up, smokin' in the club

But she drives too fast to care about her health

She only listens to crud or house

I'm only ever in the club or house

Cigarettes she gave up just for loud

I only ever wanna make

[Chorus: Jimothy Lacoste & Mike Skinner]

See me, I like to go my own way

We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction

If she can't move on, that's her problem, I'm good, that's her delay

We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction

[Verse 2: Mike Skinner]

You lean in to the car window

Tell me the stars are getting off

The sky moves back like tinted windows

Revealing tomorrow like a deathly cough

I tell no lies, it's easy to remember

Pocket the keys from in my lap

One too many blue lights flick on the dash

Glow from the electronic highs

Smoke floats out and disappears

You jump in the driving seat, make for the stick

No joke now, we are onto our fears

Bump up the song, hit the mirror on the door

Wait for her key to be fatally flawed

[Chorus: Jimothy Lacoste & Mike Skinner]

See me, I like to go my own way

We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction

If she can't move on, that's her problem, I'm good, that's her delay

We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction

[Verse 3: Jimothy Lacoste]

But we're now walking the same direction

So God, please leave me

Please leave me, please leave me

Leave me, leave me

Please leave me, yeah, please move on

Please leave me and carry on

Please leave me and don't be weird

Please leave me, you just flopped

Please leave me, you're now dropped

Please leave me, I need time

Please leave me, you're in slime

Please leave me with my music

[Refrain: Mike Skinner]

We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction

We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction

[Outro: Mike Skinner]

I never rate any gathering 'til the people have all settled

To talk on the weather in the wet is a downer on the day

We could debate this all afternoon and we would still not settle it

But that is much better than us settling it without debating at all
