Hampstead lyrics

i left my heart at a pub in Hampstead
and i misplaced my mind in a good way
threw away my reputation but saved us more heartache
yes, i know it seems fucked up, and you're right
but quite frankly, you're still wrong about everything
so far off, your seat's nowhere near the table
but i find something sweet in your peculiar behavior
'cause i think to be so dumb must be nice
i do, i do, i do, i do
what makes you think you're even invited?
the doors are closed with lights off inside, and all the while
there's no one home, you're still outside
i wonder why
what's wrong with a little bit of poison? tell me
i would rather feel everything than nothing every time
fear me, stranger, a little bit of sugar, danger
i'd rather be seen and alive than dying by your point of view
i do, i do, i do, i do
i don't remember too much of the last year
but i knew who i was when i got here
'cause i'm still the same but only entirely different
and my lover's just some lines in some songs
mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
you think you've read the book i'm still writing
i can't imagine wanting so badly to be right
guess i'm forever on your mind
i wonder why
what's wrong with a little bit of poison? tell me
i would rather feel everything than nothing every time
fear me, stranger, a little bit of sugar, danger
i'd rather be seen and alive than dying by your point of view
rather be swimming with you than drowning in a crowded room
i do, i do, i do, i do
