lyrics

I was sick, and I was sick of going straight to thinking
About what my last words to you might be
So I’d make sure you knew that I love you
In case I didn’t wake from my sleep
What else could I really say, to you to sum it all up
They’re just three words but their weight
Was the only thing I could back up
Was the only thing I could lift
Was the only thing I could carry
While being whisked into a pulp
While wishing I could cry for help

Yeah, I wished and I wished but there’s no point in wishing
To replace half a life gone to waste
I’d take in opinions on all my achievements
But it’s all just a matter of taste
There was nothing that I could do, but it’s not like I never tried
So for me what is brand new, is to others all fossilised
No, now I won’t be left on the ground
No, now I won’t be left to be buried
Now I might learn a thing or two
But I never had to be taught my love for you

Half my life, half my life has rumbled on by
It’s of no great consequence
But now I have the heart and the strength to decide
Which side I can jump off the fence,
There’s a better version of everything here, I am learning how to take a bad day
The yearning for dreams so clear can make it feel like they’re so far away
But that’s a distance that I can run
The least resistance I’ve ever faced
Everything that used to always fall through
Is now all rising up to meet you

I still get sick but now I have to think about
Whether it’s panic or peace
It sneaks right up on me but it hits me so gently
And then it won’t let me be
What does it mean to be still, to be silent and able to think?
What does it mean to feel an entire house of kitchen sinks?
And the dishes are all done for us
Now we go to bed and read together
I guess we’ve got a bit of a story
And it’s not even boring
