Camera Obscura - My Maudlin Career

'My Maudlin Career' is taken from Camera Obscura's 2009 album 'My Maudlin Career' out via 4AD.
Lyrics:
You kissed me on the forehead
Now this kiss is giving me a concussion
We were love at first sight
Now it's crush
It's crushing
Now choose two stops through the city though
I'm lost easily
I took to the desert but my heart just whines
And deceive me
Now we're in love again
And you're wherever
I'm not a child I know
We're not going steady
You're pain's gigantic but it's not as big as your ego
Promise not to abandon you, please let me go
Now I've been hurting your feelings
Yeah they were worth protecting
They say I'm too kind and sentimental
Like you could catch affection
Oh in your eyes there's a sadness
Enough to kill the both of us
Are those eyes overrated?
They make me want to give up on love
I'll brace myself for the holiness
Say hello to feelings that I detest
This maudlin career has come to an end
I don't want to be sad again
This maudlin career has come to an end
I don't want to be sad again
This maudlin career has come to an end
I don't want to be sad again
This maudlin career has come to an end
I don't want to be sad again

Such a full wonderfully produced track. I have no idea why this isn't more known it's been out for years. Has remained on my favorite playlist since it came out.

You kissed me on the forehead
Now this kiss is giving me a concussion
We were love at first sight
Now it's crush
It's crushing
I chased your steps through the city of romance lazily
I took to the desert but your heart just winds and deceives me
Now we're in love again
And you're wherevers
I'm not a child I know
We're not going steady
You're pain's gigantic but it's not as big as your ego
Promise not to abandon you, please let me go
Now I've been worrying your feelings like
They were worth protecting
They say I'm too kind and sentimental
Like you could catch affection
Oh in your eyes there's a sadness
Enough to kill the both of us
Are those eyes overrated?
They make me want to give up on love
I'll brace myself for the holiness
Say hello to feelings that I detest
This maudlin career has come to an end
I don't want to be sad again
This maudlin career has come to an end
I don't want to be sad again
This maudlin career has come to an end
I don't want to be sad again
This maudlin career has come to an end
I don't want to be sad again
