Story Behind the Song
I wrote this not to make out that I'm a big stud but because I was genuinely surprised to find myself in the situation, it was very unfamiliar, not entirely unpleasant, and I still remember her name, even though we haven't spoken since, but to be fair she lives in th U.S. and I live in Wales, plus I'm engaged now.... why am I trying to justify this?
Lyrics
Not quite sure where I'm going, but I'll go there anyway,
With those eyes fixed on mine I think I'll stay here for today,
Two good reasons to stay put, and lots more later on,
I don't need a song to tell me she is not the one,
I was looking for that one thing, til I got a wake up call,
From this girl I knew who showed me what was true,
Yeah she could do it all,
You see I, I never thought I'd be casual, I never thought I'd be playing cool, but I'm happy when you smile at me and go. I never thought I'd heard those things said, I thought I'd see that in a film instead, but I'm happy when you're putting on a show.
I never thought I would walk you home, make sure you do not sleep alone, and be happy just to smile at you and go.
Call me what you want, just don't call me the next day, I love you here and now, the outside world has gone away.
In the morning light we'll see that this could never last,
And as that sweet sorrow descends, it would be nice to have some breakfast.
I might not get the banter right, I might say the wrong things in the night, and somewhere deep beneath the covers, you might not be just any other,
But I, I never thought I'd be casual.....
