Distraction Lyrics by The Raptures

2019

[Verse]
Watch how the night kicks back at the ones who
Scorn at the thought of not being with you
Losing out to time
But they thought you were their kind
They've had a slow but grave realisation
What was despair was once just elation
I think I agree with them but stubbornly don't see the end
[Chorus]
He said I don't see the point in just hanging around
It's all going nowhere, this place is a nightmare
He turned to me and said I'm feeling so down
What an interaction, she was only a distraction
[Verse]
Watch how the morning torments the ones who
Are tantalised 'cause they just never quite got through to you
Oh the cruel things you do
I've had a slow but grave realisation
We only talk when under sedation
I think you'd agree with me, this isn't how it's meant to be
[Chorus]
I don't see the point in just hanging around
It's all going nowhere, this place is a nightmare
He turned to me and said I'm feeling so down
What an interaction, she was only a distraction
He said I don't see the point in just hanging around
It's all going nowhere, this place is a nightmare
He turned to me and said I'm feeling so down
What an interaction, she was only a distraction
