lyrics

Home-made biscuit, back verandah
The squeak of a swing, in rhythmic pattern
In the kitchen, never not consistent
Somewhere always, at a distance
Tucked up, finished with, put to bed
A window behind me loomed above my head
I stare 5 years straight at the light
If my eyes are wet, she might come and dry them

CHORUS
Come with me and make the world new safe inside a song
No words can give the feeling truth, but you’re safe inside a song
You don’t have to say you’re sorry, going over the same old story
Come with me and make the world new safe inside a song

Press rewind, locate, repeat
Hold tight, pause by the TV screen
Antenna balanced on a finger
Long enough the tune will linger
You’re standing outside tapping on the glass
You grant no silence or let it pass
Through the window went my fist ten years of anger
The silk curtains washed but the blood will stain

I claimed your room, in one heart beat
All your albums, I read the sleeves
I willed you to leave, I stole your ground
There is no guilt, I play them loud
Out of school uniform into casual dress
Straight past the window, look in on the lesson
15 years no one could teach me
When she’s gone forever and you can’t be reached
