Phosphenes

I just need a day or two to be alone
Need a couple of days without my phone
Can you hear me? I'm not leaving home
I don't wanna have to hear the world moan

I know I made plans but I'll just have to cancel
Yeah I know I made plans but they're too much to handle
I just wanna stay in bed all day
I just wanna sleep the day away

I can see the phosphenes from rubbing my eyes too long
Give it a couple of seconds and they'll soon be gone
I'll just lie back down, listen to a not so happy song
Cause you're right in that I'm always wrong

I know I made plans but I'll just have to cancel
I know I made plans but they're too much to handle
I just wanna stay in bed all day
I just wanna sleep the day away

Maybe tomorrow when I wake up
Alone and confused like a little lost pup
You'll call me and ask me what's up
I'll say I'm tired, that's all

Now I don't have any plans to cancel
I don't have anything to handle
I just stay in bed all day
And try to sleep my life away

Cup of Tea

I woke up about midday
You were hanging round, didn't know what to say
But you knew you were leaving, going at three
Told me you'd made me a cup of tea

You've moved on, doing things differently
I've not changed, still drinking my cup of tea

So I ate my toast and we talked it over
I drank my tea and felt more sober
We couldn't work it out so you left before three
Before I could offer you a cup of tea

You've moved on, doing things differently
I've not changed, still drinking my cup of tea

And now making tea just ain't the same
I still find myself calling your name
Telling you that our teas ready
For you to say you wanted coffee

Life's moved on, things move differently
A lot has changed, I don't even drink tea
