BLOC PARTY. LYRICS - Letter To My Son

"Letter To My Son"



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, babe



And you looked so right in that red dress



Oh, how'd I'd love to be a rock for you

To be anything you could rely on



So I'll, 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 wonderful 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, I tried, I tried, I tried

I'll leave it unto them to be a father to a son

I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried



Forgive me autumn, forgive me autumn,

Forgive me autumn, forgive me autumn

Forgive me autumn
