The Book Of You lyrics - Belle & Sebastian

Everybody’s making plans

For tomorrow

Stone can turn to sand

But I just

I want to take you back in time

I’ll draw the line

I would write a different story

A new final act

I don’t need the drama

But I would never write you out

Everyone’s a thread

We’re woven together

Read it in the tears and fraying edges

Read the book of you

The book of me

We’re fading into memory

But something is left

A gesture, a phrase or a photograph

The warp and weft

We’re always walking in the rain

And you’re just trouble, so I claim

Pretend the world can see

That I’m the one for you

And you’re the one for me

Valentine, if you could change

With the weather

Faith would just evaporate

Untethered

In a fresh disguise

I catch your eye

See behind the mask

And find you never went far

That’s not the last time

I’ve thought about the way we are

We’re always walking in the rain

And you’re just trouble, so I claim

But then the world can see

That I’m the one for you

And you’re the one for me
