lyrics

Letters lost in the ocean
Losing disguises for watery eyes
Losing faces for names
When the seasons change

City breathing is easy
People who pound out their
Hearts on the ground
People strung out and strange
When the seasons change

I adored the uncertainty of the
Company of you
On a chance in the next corner glance
You’ll be there at the streetlight too
Just so you know, I was aching to go
Now I’m aching to move
I’m aching to move
A room alone
Where the people all behind
Cannot find me
Letters asking, ‘Where have you gone?’
Every night, in umbrella light
I think of those eyes, eyes
Skies where the echo will drown

Unexpected embrace
We packed up our bags and we
Travelled the space
Landed here without knowing
We own every day

Still adjusting my eyes
Needing new places to hide in, to find in
Needing new games to play
We own every day

One more time I will wander through
All the times you drove me mad
Weighted by the irrelevance
Of the elegance we had
In case you can’t see, I’ve got
Some place to be and it’s
Only for me, it’s
Only for me


A room alone
Where the people all behind
Cannot find me
Letters asking, ‘Where have you gone?’
Every night, in umbrella light
I think of those eyes, eyes
Skies where the echo will drown
