lyrics

Why does my memory feel like its been frozen?
Everyday on the buss all I see is pigeons
Staring right staring right back and how do they make you feel?
Like running away

Im sat down so nervous upon your sofa
Telling you the story of my life
Im watching one drop follow another drop down your window
Tell me about the pain she says

Its like a blowtorch burning a hole in my heart
Can you help me try to calm the dancing flames
Like a dead weight dragging around my heels
Can you help me break it off so I can feel alive again again and again

Im broken so where do I go to get mended?
Cause the drink is just a sticking plaster for now
I want to feel the mornings come rushing right through me
Like one hundred waterfalls around my head

She said your lost love deep down inside a dark, dark wood
And only you can find your way out of here my friend
But when you do you'll feel alive again, again, again, again again and again
