Bloc Party

I found myself at the point where we kissed first 
On a rooftop overlooking the East London mosque 

They said, they said, they said, they said 
"You can't go around breaking young girl's hearts" 
I say, I say, I say, I say 
Keep it casual, easy ... 

And you looked so right in that red dress 

Oh how I'd love to be a rock for you 
To be anything you could rely on 

So I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try 
But I'll get caught out 
So we'll try, we'll try, we'll try, we'll try 
But we forget the lines, forget the lines 

And you looked so ... in the back of the car 
Like you could start a hundred wars 

See what trouble we could both cause 
By the bedroom door, the kitchen floor 
I tried, I tried, I tried 
... 
To be the father to a son 
I tried, I tried, I tried 

Forgive me ...
