Lyrics Missy Higgins

Missy Higgins

Futon Couch

I was sitting on a futon couch

In a far off town where the desert meets the sea

You were only wrapped in a towel when you walked out the spare room of my friend's house

Oh I feel I've met you before

Something inside me is trying to remember a story

Oh I think I've loved you, I've loved you before

Something is tugging my sleeve like a secret whispered from the future

Maybe this is us now

Maybe this is us

Hey hey, wadda ya say

Wanna make history start today

Hey boy wadda ya say we jump from here?

Hey wadda ya thinking

Leaning against the kitchen sink

Cos I see everything now

Sitting on this futon couch

Sitting on this futon couch

You were never gonna leave that town

Where your friends always dropped by unannounced for tea

Oh and where the pain of the world was swallowed when the sunset wiped you clean

Oh I knew I'd heard it before

Nothing is changing till everything changes at once

Oh I knew I felt it right down to my core

Something was writing itself on the walls of our future hearts

Hey hey, wadda ya say

Wanna make history start today

Hey boy wadda ya say we jump from here?

Hey, know what I think you'll be

Kissing me against the kitchen sink

Cos I see everything now

Sitting on this futon couch

Sitting on this futon couch

Cos I see water spilling over land

I see a frosted window and the prints of a small hand

I see the lights out, fingers intertwined

I see a cup thrown in silence and the breaking of the night

I see me walking towards you to the sound of Colin Hay

I see the earth split down the centre of our pain

But I see it's worth it

Cos I see it all now

Sitting on this futon couch

(Hey hey, wadda ya say)

(Wanna make history start today)

Sitting on this futon couch

(Hey boy wadda ya say we jump)

Sitting on this futon couch

(Hey hey, wadda ya say)

(Wanna make history start today)

Sitting on this futon couch

(Hey boy wadda ya say we jump)

I'm on the edge

(Hey, know what I think you'll be)

(Kissing me against the kitchen sink)

Sitting on the edge now

(Cos I see everything now)
