I can just imagine you and me
Running out of steam, going through the motions.
And I have no idea how you know
When I dip my toes in other people's oceans.

'Cause you had a local knowledge of the local area,
And that impressed me quite, so I tried that night
To do all the things I thought you'd like,
But that just made it worse,
And I impressed you not, well, not a lot.

So we started from the start...

When the heat dies down,
I'll be back in town,
And until that time,
I'll be 'round at mine.
When the heat dies down,
I'll be back in town,
And until that time,
I'll be 'round at mine.
When the heat dies down,
When the heat dies down,
When the heat dies down,
When the heat dies down.

I can not imagine growing old,
To have and to hold, till death do part each other,
As I doubt I could stomach 20 years,
Spending time at hers, and talking to that mother.

'Cause I've got a wider knowledge of the world I just can't face,
Another argument about the rent,
It all seems unimportant in the grander scheme of things,
'Cause I was purpose-built to not feel guilt.

So we ended at the end...

When the heat dies down,
I'll be back in town,
And until that time,
I'll be 'round at mine.
When the heat dies down,
I'll be back in town,
And until that time,
I'll be 'round at mine.
When the heat dies down,
When the heat dies down,
When the heat dies down,
When the heat dies down.

When the heat dies down,
When the heat dies down,
When the heat dies down,
When the heat dies down.
