One Day We'll Wonder

In a cheap hotel on the Spanish coast
We argued who loves who the most
I saw a side of you I'd never seen
You made a list of your fears
I know you're pissed for your lost years
You hate to think how differently it all could be
Hold your breath
And I'll hold mine
There'll be
No cars on the road tonight
No headlights dancing through the bedroom window
But the birds are singing once again
Now they're
Louder than they've ever been
One day we'll wonder
Where the time goes
In my mother's house in the countryside
We gathered wood to build a fire
Sowed seeds on the windowsills
There's so much yet to realize
Like the sacredness of silent nights
As the rest of the world's frozen still
Hold your breath
And I'll hold mine
There'll be
No cars on the road tonight
No headlights dancing through the bedroom window
But the birds are singing once again
Now they're
Louder than they've ever been
One day we'll wonder
Where the time goes
Hold your breath
And I'll hold mine
There'll be
No cars on the road tonight
No headlights dancing through the bedroom window
But the birds are singing once again
Now they're
Louder than they've ever been
One day we'll wonder
Where the time goes

A Thousand Setting Suns

You left just like the summer
Slowly then all at once
Tell me why'd it take you six months
To say ‘I'm sorry I did you wrong’?
And the past it is a funny thing
It keeps fools like us hanging on
Take this silence, take this distance
It's too quiet, it's been too long
But does she make you happy?
That's all I want you to be
Does she make you feel like a child again?
Does she make you feel free?
Does she feel closer than family?
Does she sleep inside your bones?
And does time stretch to infinity
When the two of you are alone?
One day I looked beside me
You were already long gone
All that's left is what's inside me
These fading memories and some songs
And the future it is a funny thing
It keeps fools like us moving on
Take this silence, take this distance
It's too quiet, it's been too long
But does she make you happy?
That's all I want to know
Does she make you feel like a child again?
As though nothing's impossible?
Are you overcome with love for her
When she simply says your name?
And can you tell what she's thinking of
Just by looking at her face?
I hope she makes you happy
That's all I wanted to say
I hope she makes you feel like a child again
I hope she fills your oceans with waves
I hope she ignites your nights with poetry
I hope she lights up your days with songs
I hope she paints you with all the colours
Of A Thousand Setting Suns
You left just like the summer
Slowly then all at once

I did everything I could
To try and stay you know
But when a broken thing is broken, it's broken
All the ways we broke
You're the only boy I've ever loved
With all my soul
But I had to go
And I left as you were sleeping
I didn't even say goodbye
Then I sat until almost the evening
By the Avon Riverside
I threw that dream catcher you gave me
Into the waters and I cried
And my head's still full of flowers
But they've withered with
Your lies
I took that bus to Manchester
All alone
'Cause when a broken thing is broken, it's broken
All the ways we broke
You're the only boy I've ever known
With all my soul
But I had to go
And I left as you were sleeping
I didn't even say goodbye
Then I sat until almost the evening
By the Avon Riverside
I threw that dream catcher you gave me
Into the waters and I cried
And my head's still full of flowers
But they've withered with
Your lies
Some nights I lay awake 'til morning light comes
Creeping in
But I can't say a word
For fear I'll fall again
Singing 'I'll see you somewhere before the end'
But until then
I write letters I'll never send
And I left as you were sleeping
I didn't even say goodbye
Then I sat until almost the evening
By the Avon Riverside
I threw that dream catcher you gave me
Into the waters and I cried
And my head's still full of flowers
But they've all gone
And died.

A Saving Grace

Call it a nightmare, call it a dream
Take it apart now, apart at the seams
Something broken, something to fix
Hold me I'm choking on whatever this is
Take your space, I'll take my time
A slave to rage, rage that blinds
This is hard to say, this is hard to write
A Saving Grace in the nick of time
A list of how to make amends
A page torn out, 'let's not let this end'
Tell my mother you won't hurt me
I'm wide awake now, sing me to sleep
Take your space, I'll take my time
A slave to rage, rage that blinds
For goodness sake I thought we'd be fine
A Saving Grace in the nick of time
We hurt each other as we've been hurt
A step mistaken, a heart misheard
Take your space, I'll take my time
It's not too late, you know that, right?
Anyone can change if they just decide
A Saving Grace in the nick of time

All boarded up, no open doors
Eyes that don't meet mine no more
Staring somewhere over my shoulder
A face that looks so much older
We talk about
Where you've been and where I'll go
But all the things I'd love to know
I don't dare ask about
I bite my tongue, I bite my lip
So many words I'd love to give
But they won't work it out
Your voice no longer resonates
And your advice, I don't think I'll take
I've heard your stories too many times
Now I'll write mine if you don't mind
I'll write about
Where I've been and where I'll go
And all the things I'd love to know
But don't dare ask about
How I bite my tongue, I bite my lip
So many words I'd love to give
I'll write them all down
People like seasons they change
Stars they shoot and waves they break
So I guess that I'll be seeing you
Somewhere on the Other Side of the Moon
