The circumstantial evidence of this relationship
Dictates that we can never be together
In other’s eyes we live our lives in our own secret way
But if you feel as I feel count the hours down count the hours down till Friday
For as long as we can do this I’ll walk a secret life with you
For as long as we can do this I’ll walk a secret life secret life with you
To alleviate all our frustrations I’ve made a Smith reservation
In a cheap hotel that lies just off the motorway
You know it serves the purpose I can meet you there at twelve
If you anticipate a problem send a silent text a silent text to warn me
These things we do because we can spend our secret life in a trash can
I despise all the deceit and lies just to satisfy ourselves this way
Constant guilt it’s killing me I can’t think straight these days
Living on the edge playing stupid games with people’s lives
Feeling sorry for your husband and sympathising with my wife
In this crazy secret life starring you under starry skies
It’s almost six o’clock now and its time for us to leave
Our bodies spent from all life’s pleasures that we crave for
It’s hard to see a future perhaps in ten years time
When we can be together living in normality in normality forever
