[Verse 1] When we met I wasn't on my game
I'd been called a lot of things I'm not ashamed to say
Things like "too political", "hyper-cynical"
"Kind of funny" felt okay
It's a blur back in the early days
The feelings keep on coming like the crashing days
In a semi-section, looking for affection
Who needs Tenerife when we've got Whitley Bay

[Chorus] Oh my heart I try to keep it open
Oh my heart I try to keep it full
There's a world outside where I feel so broken
You make me feel mendable

[Verse 2] Cursing trophies at the Bernabau
That Lynchian exhibit really freaks me out
There were sirens wailing, six men ailing
I feel like throwing up right now
We watched a movie if I'm not mistaken
Johnny Clay portrayed by Sterling Hayden
Stick up at the races, chiaroscuro faces
Who needs heroes anyhow

[Chorus] Oh my heart I try to keep it open
Oh my heart I try to keep it full
There's a world outside where I feel so broken
You make me feel mendable
Oh my heart I try to keep it open
Oh my heart I try to keep it full
There's a world outside where I feel so broken
You make me feel mendable
