strange time in my life

It's funny I thought
that after starting a new job in a library
I'd be thinking about her,
not you.

On my way to the interview I passed a road sign
for Birmingham.
And I thought oh no,
this will make me think about her,
not you.

The library has secret doors,
tall shelves of books to hide between,
but when I look at these I don't think about her,
I think about you.

I push my body up the hill to this building on my bike
and I think about you.
I leave on the dot every day and sometimes lie on the banks of the river reading
and sometimes take my body for a swim
and sometimes go climbing with Fred
and sometimes go for a cheeky beer or two
and when I do I don't think about her,
I think about you.
