The Book of You - Belle and Sebastian

Everybody's making plans for tomorrow
The sun could turn to sand but I just
Ought to take you back in time
I'll draw the line
And I would write a different story
A new final act
I don't need the drama but I would never write you out

Everyone's a thread we're woven together
Pleated in to tears and fraying edges
Read the book of you
The book of me
We're fading in to memory
But something is left
A gesture a phrase or a photograph
To open with

We're always walking in the rain
And you're just trouble, so I claim
Pretend the world can see
That I'm the one for you
And you're the one for me

Father tell if you could change with the weather
Faith would just evaporate
Untethered in a fresh disguise
I'll catch your eye
And see behind the mask and find you
Never with fault
But that's not the last time I've thought about
The way we are

We're always walking in the rain
And you're just trouble, so I claim
Pretend the world can see
That I'm the one for you
And you're the one for me
