Letter To My Son Lyrics - Intimacy - Bloc Party

I find myself 

At the point where we kissed first 

On a rooftop 

Overlooking the East London mosque 

They said, they said, they said, they said 

You can't go around breaking young girl's hearts 

I said, I said, I said, I said 

Keep at casual, easy thing 

And you looked so right 

In that red dress 

Oh how I'd love 

To be a rock for you 

To be anything 

You could rely on 

So I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try 

But I'll get caught out 

So we'll try, we'll try, we'll try, we'll try 

But we'll forget the lines, forget the lines 

And you looked so thwarted 

In the back of the car 

Like you could thwart 

A hundred wars 

Save my letters 

Where we can first call 

By the bedroom door 

And kitchen floor 

(I tried, I tried, I tried) 

All my letters 

I'm too young 

To be the father 

To a son 

(I tried, I tried, I tried) 

Forgive me Oscar
