Badly Drawn Boy - Is There Nothing We Could Do? Lyrics

Rushing round in circles to brighten all the corners
Busy making friends with all your enemies
You finger through your Bible whilst looking through your window
The look you gave erased a thousand memories

Ooh, I am sorry, ooh, I am sorry
This page in your story won't turn
Who am I to ask you why you feel the way you do?
If you feel the way you do is there nothing we could do?

With advice I'd warn her, "Don't idolize your neighbor"
Maybe something else is the enemy
But who put out the fire? What you asking me for?
The simple things you need for a remedy

Ooh, I am sorry, ooh, I am sorry
This page in your story won't turn
Who am I to ask you why you feel the way you do?
If you feel the way you do is there something we could do?

If only you could know there is life through your window
Oh, but even so I don't know where would you go
The time you waste would still turn into memories

Who am I to ask you why you feel the way you do?
If you feel the way you do is there nothing we could do?
Couldn't you just ask me why you feel the way you do?
There's one thing I'd say to you, there must be something we could do

Just go ahead and ask me the question
