Bombay Bicycle Club – I Can Hardly Speak lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I turn out, not a word out
It's my reality
Then I curl up, it won't take much
To stand in front and see

[Chorus]
I got that ego, what do I know?
It don't mean much to me
Fall away now, on my way down
It's all I know and I can hardly speak

[Verse 2]
There's a lighthouse, I can hide out
Staring out to sea
Shine a word through, did it reach you?
Or echo back to me?

[Chorus]
I got that ego, what do I know?
When I can hardly see
Fall away now, on my way down
It's all I know and I can hardly speak

[Post-Chorus]
A picture on the wall looking back at me
And I can't even talk
I'm floating in a dream
(I'm floating in a dream)

[Bridge]
You say I've a bent tooth
Well, I don't even like you
Want me to leave my cocoon
Where does that leave you?
You say you can see my bones
But I can see right through you
Too many faces to please
I can't see a place for me

[Outro]
I come home to write it all (For me)
I come home to write it all (For me)
I come home to write it all (For me)
I come home, I come home
I come home to write it all (A picture on the wall)
I come home to write it all (Looking back at me)
I come home to write it all (And I can't even talk)
I come home, I come home (I'm floating in a dream)
I'm floating in a dream
