Wrapped up in Books Songtext

von Belle and Sebastian

It was pretty bright, up on the rainbow bridge tonight
I could see into your window although you're far away
You were racing in a car
Beside a boy, you just don't know
If he is up for what you have in mind
If he is up for what you have in mind

Change is on the cards, but this time it will be hard
But I never want to leave you
We've never had a fight
You should never split a pole
You should never split at all
I wish I had two paths I could follow
I'd write the ending without any sorrow

I will say a prayer, just while you are sitting there
I will wrap my arms around you
I know it will be fine
We've got a fantasy affair
We didn't get wet. We didn't dare.
Our aspirations are wrapped up in books
Our inclinations are hidden in looks

Summer's hastening on
I'm trying to get a feeling from
The city, but I've been unfaithful
I've been traveling abroad

We've got a fantasy affair
We didn't get wet, we didn't dare
But the fantasy remains
You better come back to earth again

Our aspirations are wrapped up in books
Our inclinations are hidden in looks
