Lonely Daze Lyrics - Everybody Down - Kate Tempest

Pete is young man 

Heart full of rain. 

Eyes full of evenings 

Spent in a dream 

Grew up in a city where you master your pain 

Or you end up numb, not feeling. 

Becky is a young woman 

Heart full of earth. 

Eyes full of mornings 

Spent without sleeping. 

Grew up in a city where it's hard to be heard 

And nothing really has much meaning.

Pete had his heart broke once. 

He never fixed it. 

Sits there in his chest 

With his arms crossed, screwing. Becky had her heart broke twice She won't risk it again, 

She don't wanna see her heart get ruined. 

And now she's on her way 

To wash up and take the orders For spaghetti 

At Giuseppe's 

The café on the corner. 

She did the night shift too, 

A masseuse at the sauna 

She's putting herself through uni It's hard work. 

But will it be this way forever? 

These are lonely days. 

What if she could be the one that makes it better? He looks away, can't hold her gaze. 

But will it be this way forever? 

These are stressful times. 

What if he could be the one that gets her? 

She looks away, she's petrified. 

'Now, have you thought about retail?' 

'Yes, fine with me' 

'Oh and I can see here that you have a degree' 

'Yes,' says Pete, 'in International Relations.' 

'Great, 

Let's see if Primark has space for a placement.' 

Becky clears up from the lunch rush Crushed 

By the blank eyes 

Impolite customers thrusting 

Their damp fives 

Into her palms, she thinks, 

There ain't no harm in being civil though, Is there? 

He folds up his job form, 

Gets up from his chair 

The next person sits down with a similar air Of dejection 

He walks out, heads in the direction 

Of the café on the corner 

For a coffee and some headroom. 

This guy comes in, 

The first customer to close the door behind him For that alone she likes him. 

He sits at the table by the window 

Reading, half smiling. 

His hair's messy and his eyes are shining. 

Can't think what to say, he just stares blankly Picks up his change, fiddles with his spoon, And as he leaves the café he's consumed With thoughts of her, 

Wishing that he'd got up the guts To try and talk to her. 

Will it be this way forever? 

These are lonely days 

What if she could be the one that makes it better? He looks away, can't hold her gaze. 

And will it be this way forever? 

These are stressful times. 

What if he could be the one that gets her? 

She looks away, she's petrified. 

It's Becky's mate's birthday They're out for the night 

Now, Becky's mate is the nightmare type, She'll flirt with anyone 

Scream at the top of her voice, 

But it's her birthday so Becky 

Don't really have a choice. 

He sees her in the queue 

He doesn't know what to do 

She's more beautiful than he remembers Then she says, 

'Alright?' 

And he tries to say something funny 

But stutters 

And now he feels like a muppet and blushes. 

Inside it's the usual scene, 

They're dancing at the bar, waiting to get served Becky's mate's screaming about something absurd And they're all fake laughing. 

Even though nobody heard a word. 

So now he's hunting around the room, Staring into every booth 

The back of every head could be hers It's no use. 

He stops by the bar, thinking 

Man, I'll never find her 

And then he realises that he's standing beside her. 

He stands there awkward 

His eyes are as loud as the bass. 

And she can recognise something in his face. She scribbles down her number, 

Lingering glance 

And lets herself think 

Maybe this could be her chance. 

But will it be this way forever? 

These are lonely days. 

What if she could be the one that makes it better? He looks away, can't hold her gaze. 

And will it be this way forever? 

These are stressful times. 

What if he could be the one that gets her? 

She looks away, she's petrified.
