lyrics

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
