Commitment issues, jumpers, a killer baseline and soaring trumpets

lyrics

I was cold so she lent me her jumper.
And I have worn it every day since then.
It smells like her and it is so warm.
And like she says, it looks good on me and I look good in it.
And I don’t want to give it back.
And I think she’d be happy with that.
Just as long as she could hold it some times… While I’m in it.

Chorus
Love that jumper it keeps me warm
Love that jumper shelter from the storm
Love that jumper I want to get it on
Love that jumper this is the one

It was quiet there in her room.
And the party raged through the rest of the house.
And as we talked about the posters on her walls
people kept comin in and goin out to get their coats and hats and say goodbye.
On the floor she stood on the bed I sat.
I got cold and I told her that
Well she knew just what to do… Out came the jumper.

Chorus

And now here comes the interesting part.
I pulled the jumper on over my beating heart.
And then I felt her lips against my neck.
Pressin in, movin up. Oh, so soft and warm and wet.
And as the morning came.
I drove myself away.
And I’d like to say that’s that… But I’ve still got the jumper.

And I want her as much as I don’t.
And I want to see her again but I probably won’t.
Cause a jumper like that I could keep forever and a day
but when it comes to love; I just seem to throw it away.

Chorus

Near perfect form
Colours true and strong
Feel it on my skin
As soft as they come
The only thing that’s wrong
Is my arms are too long
They keep my distance from
Just about everyone
But in the light of the dawn
May I be reborn
As a love so strong
That goes on and on
