Walls - Will Swinton
Partitions – Will Swinton
The best way you used to set me on fireplace
One thing in your contact so chilly
Possibly it’s the way in which that I’m wired

By no means meant to like me a liar
Loving you is all I do know
Want I might’ve held you tighter
I’ve been misplaced because you let me go
