about

The lyrics to this tune set three scenes. A student in a class room caught writing a note to a crush, the teenager in trouble with the cops and a phone out of reach while someone is calling. The instrumentation features nylon string guitar, tubular bells & mellotron, giving the song a traditional, acoustic pop sound.

lyrics

Mrs Kelly said that she’d be leaving
Giving me all the time I’d need
To write my number down
Onto a piece of paper I would give to you
Now she’s back I’m left without a move

Mumma said it’s time to wake up
The cops are here to talk to you
You’ve done something wrong
But I’ve just been myself in everything I do
Now my hands are tied without a move

Circumstance gets in the way of
finding the right words to say
To let the one you want know how you feel

Don’t you let it get you down and
Pick your eyes up off the ground and
Find your way through every twist and turn

Driving on my way to your house
I can hear the phone is ringing
So I reach out my hand
Feeling all around but I can’t find a thing
Once again I’m left without a move
