Humdrum Lyrics
The CorrsMusic Video
Humdrum
Hey you're too true to be good
And I'm too bad to pretend
Transparent and transfixed, I'm uncool
Heart beat you're looking at me
Must stop I'm letting you see
This isn't how I want it to be
I have visions like no other
So romantic you'll discover
I wanna take you for granted
Drift while you're talking
Bathe while you're downstairs
And chat on the phone
Fall sleep before bedtime
Pass in the hallway
Forget your birthday
And shrink all your clothes... Oh
(I wanna)
This is every girl's dream
No milk left for your tea
Baby's crying louder than me
Who lost the keys of your car
Sorry that'd be me
I'd wake up only I'm not asleep
I have daydreams of another
So romantic you'll discover
I wanna take you for granted
Drift while you're talking
Bathe while you're downstairs
And chat on the phone
Fall sleep before bedtime
Pass in the hallway
Forget your birthday
And shrink all your clothes... Oh
(I wanna...)
(I wanna...)
I have visions like no other
So romantic you'll discover
I wanna take you for granted
Drift while you're talking
Bathe while you're downstairs
And chat on the phone
Fall sleep before bedtime
Pass in the hallway
Forget your birthday
And shrink all your clothes
Let me take you for granted
Drift while you're talking
Bathe while you're downstairs
And chat on the phone
Fall sleep before bedtime
Pass in the hallway
Forget your birthday
And shrink all your clothes... Oh
(I wanna...)
(I wanna...)
Did I say that out loud?
