Never Here Lyrics - Elastica - Elastica

It's a sign of devotion 

You made everybody else seem insane 

You filled my head with your notions 

You made everybody else seem so tame 

In your bed I lay reeling 

You made everybody else seem a shame 

I knew from the way I was feeling 

Nothing could ever be quite the same 

I moved straight into your shoes 

I took up your cause and answered your phone 

I couldn't really imagine 

What life was like when I was alone 

Then I started to worry 

I thought of our lives left on the shelf 

Too much TV and curry 

Too much time spent on ourselves 

We were sitting and waiting 

And I told you my plan 

You were far too busy writing 

Rhymes that didn't scan 

And you lent me your records 

And I lent you an ear 

Funny how it seems to me now 

That you were never here 

Never really here 

In our bed I lay reeling 

You made everybody else seem a shame 

I knew from the way I was feeling 

Nothing could ever be quite the same 

It's a sign of devotion 

You made everybody else seem so plain 

Then it felt like going through the motions 

First impressions never remain 

We were sitting and waiting 

And you told me your plan 

I was far too busy writing 

Rhymes that'll never scan 

Now I've sold all your records 

'Cause they give me the fear 

Funny how it seems to me now 

That you were never here 

Never really here, never really here
