Seven Lyrics

Well I wrote my number down
I never wrote it down before
Were gonna bring it over like something from a film
But I didn't have the bottle at all

I were looking and you kept staring
Your thoughts pairing up with mine
Cause your so pretty and I'm so shy
You proper did give me the eye though
I'm sure you did

Well I went outside
Couldn't say I tried and I felt regret
It's good to have a bash
I had to dash back in
Cause the ship hadn't sailed yet

But when I did I couldn't see your face
I could see your mates
But that won't do
I dashed around trying to find you
But you were nowhere to be seen
Oh no no

La la la la la la la la la la la

Well she moved in ways
That kept her there in our minds for days
Weeks and months it was
I was that amazed and there she stays
Surrounded by the what-ifs and the maybes

"we played this gig in nottingham, and there was this lass up there, so i went over there, but then she'd gone, its a bit of a shit thing to write a song about actually now in reflection but.....its called seven" -alex turner

seeing a girl and not having the confidence to go over and speek to her. Then deciding to go back in to look for her and not being able to find her. The last verse is about remembering the girl and wondering what might have happened.

well there my thoughts

ere i must of have a different version of this ;s

"Well I wrote my number down Never wrote it down before Was gonna bring it over like something from a film But I didn't have the bottle at all

Well I'm looking and you kept staring Your thoughts bearing up with mine And when you're so pretty and I'm so shy You probably didn't give me the eye but I'm sure you did

Well I went outside Couldn't say I tried And I felt regret Because you haven't bashed me and dashed back in Cause the ship hasn't sailed yet

But when I did I couldn't see your face I could see your mates but that wouldn't do Well I dashed around, tried to find you But you were, nowhere to be seen Oh no no...

la la la, la la la, la, la la la la, la la la, la la la, la, la la la la, la la la, la la la, la, la la la la,

Well she moved in ways, that kept her there In our minds for days And weeks and months We was that amazed And there she stayed Surrounded by the what if's and the maybe's."

yeah they were playing a gig in nottingham and alex saw this lass & he liked her but when he went to find her she'd gone :|

Anyone know why it's called "7"?

At the start of the song, Matt counts to 7 before they begin, not the usual 8.

i always thought it was that a phone # has 7 numbers, but mangofield could be right top

^ seven digits in a phone number?
