Gap -- The Kooks

So put a spanner in the works, "You're mine," It's easier to work,
But I don't mind, You're bitter in defeat so, Just don't try
To take away all the things  I'll do in my life.

(**)  I have to break down all  the corners of the world.
Don't heap this praise on me,  I know I don't deserve it.
But what's so this I see? Yeah you're leaving right beside me,
And I miss you, and I need you.  I do. but don't go, take my love,
I won't let you, I'm saying please don't go. don't go, take my love,
I won't let you, I'm saying please   don't go.

Well leave your lover now, it's your turn. And see your mother now,
I hope she's okay. You're bitter in defeat so,  let's not try
To take away all the things we'll do in our lives.

(**) 

All of my life, trying to understand. All of my life,
trying to hold a hand.  I have to break down all, the corners of this world. Don't heed this praise on me, I know I don't deserve it.
But what's so this I see  you're leaving right beside me,
And I miss you, and I love you.  That's true.

This was written by drummer Paul Garred together with frontman Luke Pritchard. The song is about the drummer's father who died when Garred was 18.  "The first time we got back and played it I was in tears, I couldn't handle it. Because I lost my dad when I was a kid, we shared that loss. It's an important record."    (songfacts)
