Geek Love Lyrics - Fires - Nerina Pallot

In the race to get out of this place 

I am checking my face in the back of a spoon 

You're accusing, you say I'm not here 

But I'm here, yes I'm here, I'm not on the moon 

I'm leaving so soon 

But don't presume to know shit about me 

'Cause I don't know myself from one day to the next 

And I don't pose perplexities purposely 

'Cause it isn't a game, it isn't a test 

And now hey, you, could you give it a rest? 

Just take me home, come on and get me undressed 

Put on a fire and make it enough 

For we're geeks but we know this is love 

9 AM to the beat of a drum 

As we drive through the canyon, I'm feeling the hum 

Of the engine, my head and my heart are a swim 

Will your cat be okay? Your wife, was she in? 

Your wife, is she in? 

'Cause I don't presume to know shit about you 

When you won't really tell me until I beg you to 

But I know that perplexity's a wonderful thing 

It's a sudden found joy, the strangeness it brings 

And now hey, you, could you give it a rest? 

Just take me home, come on and get me undressed 

Put on a fire and make it enough 

For we're geeks but we know this is love, this is love 

Yeah, geeks but we know this is love 

I like that we argue but not everyday 

Your scent in a room and the way that you say 

Color not colour, "What colour today?" 

It's gray, gray, it's gray 

Oh hey, you, could you give it a rest? 

Just take me home, come on and get me undressed 

Put on a fire and make it enough 

For we're geeks, but we know this is love, this is love 

Hey, you, could you give it a rest? 

Just take me home, come on and get me undressed 

Put on a fire and make it enough 

For we're geeks, but we know this is love, this is love, yeah 

Geeks but we know this is love
