Lyrics
Wandering lonely through the snow streets of New York
I stumbled on a thrift store that sold postcards by the yard
I bought a mile and shipped them home so I could read
Ten thousand ten-word tragedies, the lives these strangers lead
To remind myself the things I need
I once wrote you love songs
You never fell in love
We used to fit like mittens, but never like gloves
You left me feeling like we'd never really been in love
Huddled homebound in my place in Holloway
I wondered if you even heard those songs I used to play
I wrote them as a gift for you and in return
You gave a pair of hand-knit mittens to keep my fingers warm
So I could play more ignored love songs
I once wrote you love songs
You never fell in love
We used to fit like mittens, but never like gloves
I once wrote you postcards
But you never wrote back
You promised me you would and I'm still waiting for that
You left me feeling like we'd never really been in love
Don't want to fit like mittens
I want to fit like gloves
I want to fit like gloves
I want to fit like gloves
I once wrote you love songs
You never fell in love
We used to fit like mittens, but never like gloves
But never like gloves

You can hear the heartbreak in his voice. You can hear it jn the chords and in his fingertips. We love Frank Turner because we hurt with him.

[@darrenp1549]

Good news is He's Happier and Healthier now.

@@darrenp1549 You sir just won the Internet for me :'D

[@cmore138]

Damn, Frank. I haven’t heard this song before and clicked as I’m getting ready to wander alone through the streets of New York. Probably gonna be crying into my pizza slice now.

[@mayamurad2319]

It's something special when the singer can make you feel their pain.

[@brianzarra9112]

this song hits my fucking heart like a god damned wrecking ball...

[@johnnyscifi]

Or can relate, by similar experience(s)

[@chrisgirouard4433]

so i could play more ignored love songs

[@plepahin]

That "I WANNA FIT LIKE GLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVES" is classic!!! :)

[@craigbarker1782]

No one plays acoustically with such immense power quite like frank turner.

[@Oblitherator28]

Acoustics are usually toned down. I love how he ramps it up.

[@zbelfour]

always raw, always emotional, always badass

[@DaddyMandM]

The emotions in this song gets me every time. No matter if it's this version, the album version or the video (which is really great). Straight from the heart. I've been there too. Trying to learn it in my humble way on the guitar, so I can get my feelings out. Thankyou Frank :-D

[@morgwild]

I love that these songs still sound awesome even when he's just belting them out solo. Love the emotion.

[@LunatikVision]

I love how in Mittens he sings ''I wrote them (songs) as a gift for you'', but in Romantic Fatigue he ''had to switch all the names around and then sing it again'' because he ''probably didn’t write this song for you'' x)))

[@robisbell3468]

Yup, still my favorite Frank Turner song

[@ryanminney3909]

Why in the name of f### is this guy not all over the UK airwaves instead of the constant sh#t we have to endure on our radio stations 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ was only introduced to him last year and absolutely addicted to his stuff. Awesome. Just awesome

[@drewandcharlie7583]

I’ve met some people that dont like frank turner. Hes too light and poppy. Dare ya to listen to this

[@jameswebster5398]

Die a little more everytime, special when a song can be so powerful and emotive x

You put so much emotion into your songs, which in turn makes me feel the same way. I absolutely love your music, keep up the good work Frank :)

At the end of the video it seems like he is a drunk guy that just dropped a taco and he's really sad

Who hit the dislike button? I strongly suggest you go get your phone/computer checked, cause it must have been an accident.
