A Few Hours After This — Rerecorded for the TV show Luther

A few hours after this and we’re apart again
Like black and white checks
At opposite poles in a secret game
In a strange symmetry…

You really should have known by the cut of my smile
That the answer would be simple
It still took to you awhile
To get it out of me
I thought you’d do it easily

Just put your hands around my heart and squeeze me ’til I’m dry
I never thought you’d ever stop to ever ask me way

I never saw you again
I never saw you again
I never saw you again
I never saw you again
