Supermarket Queues (Together)

I wish the scientists were wrong
When they say we can't travel back in time
Now I wake up
And you're not there
It's the cold side of the bed I fear the most

It could have been
You and I
In the supermarket queues together
Now I shop
For myself
And I am buying things I shouldn't buy
Cigarettes, alcohol
I'm buying all the sad, sad things

I scour the years to visit all the tender times
To bring you back to life
'cos you're dress still drips from the hanger in my mind
Why is time so labyrinthine?

Well I wish the scientists were wrong
When they say we can't travel back in time

It could have been
You and I
In the supermarket queues together
Now I shop
For myself
And I am buying things I shouldn't buy
Cigarettes and alcohol
I am buying

Are you out there?
In the ether?
Trace the strands back to the ball of wool
To the ball of wool

It could have been
You and I
In the supermarket queues together
I can't believe in the
Scientific method anymore
It could have been
You and I
In the supermarket queues
