Eventually, Darling Lyrics by Declan McKenna

Zeros (Japan Version)

2020

[Verse 1]
The backyard balcony view
Was empty as hell without you
And the man that you trust
Worth dust 'cause he left without a word
Have you heard an apology? No
No comment, what were you on?
Don't tell me you truly believed when he promised
Marvellous beaches, one of us each to carry the spade
Don't be so nasty, Father McCarthy rolls in his grave

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't mean to be shallow, I'm just movin' on
But it was nice to meet you
For love is but a fleeting friend
We'll end up both alone, oh, we know
How easy it is to pretend

[Chorus]
Sick of trying to be her and trying to be him
Exactly what is getting worse each time and time again
Is that not something you could learn if only on a whim
Pretendin' not to choke like the first time you tried a blem

[Post-Chorus]
It's not really the time
For kickin' and squealing
Well, it's a silly thought
It's a silly feeling, ah

[Verse 2]
Oh, marvellous beaches, one of us each will carry the spade
Everyone leaves eventually, darling, don't be afraid
No, really, don't worry, won't you scurry now?
While your life's in pieces and love is but a fleeting friend
Don't pretend that you care either
As one of many broken hearts to mend
I see you and love just doesn't care for you
We'll end up both alone, oh, we know
Your father feels the same way too (Too)

[Chorus]
Sick of trying to be her and trying to be him
Exactly what is getting worse each time and time again
Is that not something you could learn if only on a whim
Pretendin' not to choke like the first time you tried a blem

[Outro]
It's a silly thought
It's like changing your friends
If you could do it once
Would you do it again?
Would you do it again?
Would you do it again?
Would you do it again?
Would you do it again?
