Balcony by The Nagging Doubts Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’ve been working hard all day
Can’t face the afternoon shift
Know you’re independent for once
Need it now it’s what I miss
I can feel the Manyana sunset
Its still fresh in my mind
And there’s summer air tonight
Let’s head out into the town
[Chorus 1]
You swept me off of the floor
It used to be staring between you and the door
Now I walk through it to get to you
And don’t worry when I leave because I’m tied to you
[Verse 2]
Tuesday eyes they’re peering down
It’s easy to see
There’s coffee cups and cigarette buts
The smell of intimacy
It’s sometimes hard but then it’s a breeze
Saying goodbye for the rest of the week
And it’s easy to be serious
You can’t put that microscope on me
[Chorus 2]
When we’re starting from that balcony
I’m getting strange looks, they’re getting closer to me
And I know you’ve been sleeping for half the day
Can’t get back the shit you’ll never see
Just come out for a walk with me
How it good it can be
[Chorus 3]
Don’t you wonder if we pressed it in too deep?
Cos it’ll be a bitter pill going back to everything next week (oh they’ll tell ya)
I know deep down I can’t be content just doing nothing at all
Its uphill you gotta speak to me Uphill
Come meet me uphill
Just meet me on the balcony
I’ve been working hard all day
Can’t face the afternoon shift
Know you’re independent for once
Need it now it’s what I miss
I can feel the Manyana sunset
Its still fresh in my mind
And there’s summer air tonight
Let’s head out into the town
[Chorus 1]
You swept me off of the floor
It used to be staring between you and the door
Now I walk through it to get to you
And don’t worry when I leave because I’m tied to you
[Verse 2]
Tuesday eyes they’re peering down
It’s easy to see
There’s coffee cups and cigarette buts
The smell of intimacy
It’s sometimes hard but then it’s a breeze
Saying goodbye for the rest of the week
And it’s easy to be serious
You can’t put that microscope on me
[Chorus 2]
When we’re starting from that balcony
I’m getting strange looks, they’re getting closer to me
And I know you’ve been sleeping for half the day
Can’t get back the shit you’ll never see
Just come out for a walk with me
How it good it can be
[Chorus 3]
Don’t you wonder if we pressed it in too deep?
Cos it’ll be a bitter pill going back to everything next week (oh they’ll tell ya)
I know deep down I can’t be content just doing nothing at all
Its uphill you gotta speak to me Uphill
Come meet me uphill
Just meet me on the balcony
