Hiding Neath My Umbrella
God Help the Girl Lyrics

Hiding 'neath my umbrella
I prefer to avoid trouble and seek comfort in familiar and safe situations.

Agreeable kind of fella
I am easy-going and generally pleasant to be around.

And take the safest route
I prefer to avoid risk and potential danger.

Through all kinds of weather
I stick to my established ways despite changing circumstances.

Don't commit to love
I avoid serious emotional attachment and affection.

And don't commit a crime
I also avoid illegal or unethical behavior.

Worthless passion in your mind
Your desires and aspirations are trivial and futile.

The thrills that you're imagining
The excitement and enjoyment that you envision are unrealistic and unlikely to materialize.

Are a waste of your time
You are investing your energy in pointless and fruitless pursuits.

You sad individual
You are a pitiful and unhappy person.

I'm not the one for you
I am not interested in being with you romantically or otherwise.

You'll never do
You will never succeed or be able to meet my expectations.

Time takes a mouthful of memory
As time passes, our recollection of past events becomes hazy and incomplete.

Two spoonfuls
Even a small amount of time can lead to significant changes and effects.

You forget everything
Memories fade and disappear over time.

Life could be musical comedy
Life can be entertaining, joyful, and full of surprises.

Prop-like street lighting
The environment can serve as a supporting and enriching backdrop to our experiences and emotions.

Awaiting your swing
The stage is set for you to take action and seize the opportunities presented to you.

Place your bets
Let's make a wager on the potential outcome of events.

I'll place mine now
I am confident in my prediction and am willing to risk something of value.

I will bet on your heart to win
I believe that your romantic and emotional endeavors will be successful.

I've got a feeling the weather is changing
I sense that a significant shift or development is occurring.

And my luck is in
I am fortunate and my situation is favorable.

So what about the conversation
Let's discuss the topic at hand.

Heartfelt revelation
A sincere and personal confession or admission.

But then you realise
However, you come to an understanding or recognition.

We are the diplomats
It is up to us to mediate and negotiate a resolution or agreement.

Courts are breaking down
Legal or institutional systems are losing their effectiveness and credibility.

Love is leaving town
Affection and connection between people are becoming increasingly scarce and distant.

Talk yourself into a corner
Dig yourself into a difficult or intractable situation through your own words or actions.

Skip the rope and go abroad, dear
You should break away from your current routine and embark on a new adventure or experience.

What's the attraction?
What is the appeal or motivation for doing something?

Follow the action
Join in and participate in the events and activities taking place around you.

But you're getting old
However, you are aging and potentially losing opportunities for new experiences.

I can see the lines form on your face
Your face is showing the signs of aging and the passage of time.
