VERSE:
~~~~~~

          
The lanes were silent

                                              
There was nothing, no one, nothing around for miles

                         
I doused our friendly venture

             
With a hard-faced three-word gesture


CHORUS:
~~~~~~~

                    
I started something, I forced you to a zone

                                 
And you were clearly never meant to go


Hair brushed and parted

        
Typical me, typical me, typical me

	  
I started something

                        
And now I'm not too sure
