An Unknown Songtext

von Maximo Park

Here we are all in the same room
Smiling uncomfortably
I'm unreachable in this state

The fan sounds like an insect
Up close with clattering wings
I'll be deafened at this rate

I might as well not exist
Couldn't you have picked an unknown?

I can't be your friend
‘Cause I want everything
Go, please go
Watching events unfold
Between you both
Go, Go
I don't want to watch this scene unfold

The more this car vibrates
The sooner it will fall apart
Shouldn't everything hit the mark?

Eye contact became a task
But I wasn't trying to hurt you
Couldn't you have picked an unknown?

I can't be your friend
‘Cause I want everything
Go, please go
Watching events unfold
Between you both
Go, Go
I don't want to watch this scene unfold
