In Another World (You Would've Found Yourself By Now) - Maxïmo Park

You’re looking so pleased with yourself

I’m gonna come over there and wipe that smile off your face

Petty crimes in your leisure time

You struggled to break out

Wash away on your cheap mistakes

Your abstinence;

your drought

In another world you would’ve found me by now

But you’ll still end up on a revolving dance floor in the middle of the river

Come over here, my dear

I need to have a little word in your ear

You’re your mother’s girl

And you should know that by now

All the other girls live their lives

Without self-doubt

In another world you would’ve found me by now

But you’ll still end up on a revolving dance floor in the middle of the river

I’ve been hiding from you

Though we inhabit the same room

I’ve been shying from you

Though we’re under the same roof

You’re looking so pleased with yourself

I’m gonna come over there and wipe that smile off your face

In another world you would’ve found me by now

But you’ll still end up on a revolving dance floor in the middle of the river

In another world you would’ve found yourself by now

If you weren’t so proud I would have given up by now

With another girl I’d be floundering by now

In another world
