Bloc Party Letter To My Son Lyrics

Letter To My Son Lyrics

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 girls hearts"

I say, I
say, I say, I say

Keep it casual, easy thing



And you looked
so right in that red dress



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

To be anything you could rely on



So I'll try, 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 look so wanton 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

Oh,
Marlena I'm too young

To be the father to a son

I tried, I tried, I
tried



Forgive me Oscar

Forgive me Oscar 

Forgive me
Oscar 

Forgive me Oscar
