Hello darling Ive been calling you
 The batterys on the blink again
 Im sitting here knee deep in peak hour traffic and it's getting worse
 don't forget to check the microwave
 The dinners hot the cats been fed
 The milk is off you might need to go to the store
 Yes I know that all sounds boring
 But I wont be home tonight
 don't wait up for me
 I will be staying at a girlfriends out of town
 don't try to call me there
 Coz Im gonna need
 Some time to think some time to settle down
 
I guess you're sleeping as it's 4am, 
The world is in a coma and Im not used to sleeping in a single bed
 and I can't get warm
 Ive got this picture of the two of you
 It lingers like a strange perfume
 Clings around the edges of my vanity
 Babe, you know it's killing me
 I wont be home tonight
 don't wait up for me
 I'll be staying at a girlfriends out of town
 No don't try to call me there
 Coz, Im gonna need some time
 time to think and time to settle down.
 
Some dog is waking up the neighbourhood
 and shits me that it's half past nine 
I haven't even showered and Im late again
 oh how middle class
 Perhaps well meet for lunch, and have a chat
 and then you'll placate me 
and remind me why I ever fell in love with you
 maybe well even start a new
 
I need some time, time to think and time to settle down
 I need some time, time to think and time to settle down
 I wont be home tonight, don't wait up for me 
I'll be staying at girlfriends out of town don't try to call me there
 Time to think.
