It was November when I first saw you
Standing in the queue for the bathroom
Didn't even notice me but I thought I knew you
Always thought I knew you
Never really did

You were so vague back then
Something I should try to pretend
Not to be absorbed by you

Where are you now, love?
Do you still sing?
'Cause I used to buy coffee just to watch you
Working the machine
Hymns beneath the steam
Are you happy to be gone?

It was December when we first spoke
Blind drunk and dumb
Bear down my throat
February, got high before a show
Forgot my lines
Tried to take you home

'Cause you were so sweet back then
Thought that I should try to pretend I could be sweet too
Was I sweet to you?

Where are you now, love?
Do you still sing?
'Cause I used to buy coffee
Just to watch you working the machine
Hymns beneath the steam
Are you happy to be gone?

Is that what you want?
Is that what you want?

She just wants to be alone
I would freeze to keep her warm
She just wants to be alone
I would freeze to keep her warm, warm
But she is looking for no one
Always home 'cause she is her own

Working the machine
Hymns beneath the steam
Are you happy to be gone?
