Lyrics The Present - Bloc Party

The Present

If you’re cold and you’re alone
And you don’t know where to go
You can call me anytime
Nothing’s changed, I am still here
If you’re running out of breath
And your building’s burning down
You can jump, I will catch you
Nothing’s changed, I am still here
With heavy hands and an absent mind
Did I blow your candle out?
With shortened words and a lack of time
Am I ever on your mind?
Was I cruel and never there?
Nothing to rely on
Was our romance a black hole?
You kept the better half than me
Well, if you really wanted to know
Well, no, the earth’s not moved for me since
I wish I could’ve given you lightness
The lightness that you deserve
And they say time is a healer
And time will look after you
I can’t wait, I can’t wait
I can’t wait, I can’t wait, come over
Come over, come over, come over
Why don’t you come over?
Why don’t you come over?
Why don’t you come over?
Why don’t you come over?
Well, if you really wanted to know
Well, no, the earth’s not moved for me since
I wish I could’ve given you lightness
The lightness that you deserve
And they say time is a healer
And time will look after you
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Come over
And I stole you that ring 'cause I wanted you to have it
And it wasn’t about me, I just wanted you to have it
Your smile, baby, your smile, baby, I come alive
And I stole you that ring 'cause I wanted you to have it
And it wasn’t about me, I just wanted you to have it
Your smile, baby, your smile, baby, I come alive
I feel so naked like before we met
Last night I was so close to just calling you up
They say it takes time to heal the wounds
I can’t wait, I can’t wait, come over
