Lyrics stealing beauty - Spearmint

stealing beauty

if we were to stay here
would it really be so bad
sitting here all afternoon
well you’d probably lose your job
the world would gradually turn round
aeroplanes fly by
every three minutes or so
birds land on the water
it’s already time to go
why’s it always time to go?
when I really want to stay
I always seem to be walking away
it’s plain to see
that you and me
we’ve got different reasons
to be stealing beauty
I know it should feel wrong
but it seems right to me
we’ll swim out to the island
a silver comet in the sky
they’ll come and try to find us
still that’s where we’re going to hide
the boats are banging in the dock
when I really want to stay
I always seem to be walking away
it’s easy to see
there’ll be someone for you
who won’t let you hang around with me
but until that day
I’ll spend my time
just thinking up ways to be stealing beauty
it’s plain to see
that you and me
we’ve got different reasons
to be stealing beauty
I know it should feel wrong
but it seems right to me
right to me… right to me…
