Martha Orange Juice Lyrics

We were waiting for the movie to start
Asking pub quiz questions in the cinema bar
And I didn't know it then
But that's all I ever wanted

And it's a natural progression of time
I'm embarrassed to admit I never ordered the wine
But I thought I'd have a chance to make amends

We were driving to Vauxhall and I
You were staring out the window at the world going by
And I didn't know it then
But you were falling out of love with me

It's a new development in the plan
A painful change of circumstance
And my heart couldn't cope with such adversity

I diluted you
Like ice in orange juice
I don't know what to do now
I don't know what to do now

My hands were shaking as I opened the door
To the house where you don't live anymore
And I didn't turn the lights on
'cause I couldn't bear to see


It's the natural progression of time
Like coastal erosion and the bend in my spine
I lay there with your shadow next to mine

I diluted you
Like ice in orange juice
I don't know what to do now
I don't know what to do now

You endured me
Like double chemistry
I don't know what to do now
I don't know what to do now
