ERASURE lyrics - Fingers & Thumbs (Cold Summer's Day)

(Clarke / Bell)



Don't know what you've got 'til it's gone

A hint of a scent then it's gone

Look at the state of you, you're all fingers and thumbs



So who's your latest flame?

Driving 'em wild in the fast lane?

Won't say I told you so, but the boy has no shame



Once when my hands were full

We were double or quits then some

Nothing at all to show for a love so precious



Gone and blown it all

How can you say, 'it doesn't matter much to me'? A dumb mistake

Too much to pay

A shattered heart in love's debris



Gone and blown it all

And then you say, 'this can't be happening to me'

A dumb mistake

Too much to pay

A shattered heart in love's debris



Don't know what you've got 'til it's gone

The thrill of the chase then it's gone

Only the hurt to prove that it ever went on



And life is a wonderful thing

When you're humming the words to a love song

Do what you wanna do, be who you want to be



When I'm in your arms I'm strong

There's nowhere I'd rather be

We shine for liberty, life and the pursuit of pleasure



Gone and blown it all

How can you say, 'it doesn't matter much to me'?

A dumb mistake

Too much to pay

A shattered heart in love's debris



Gone and blown it all

And then you say, 'this can't be happening to me'

A dumb mistake

Too much to pay

A shattered heart in love's debris



And how the days have flown too few and fast

They said it wasn't meant to last

A dumb mistake

Too much to pay

A shattered heart in love's debris
