lyrics

I wish you had never called me,
and I was strong enough to not pick up the phone.
Cos now we’re somewhere in between,
and it might just take the year to get my head straight.

All the words I attached to you never just fell from my mouth.

Maybe I should have turned around,
and gone straight to your house,
and put it all back to how it was.

I thought I’d let my guard down,
cos after all, what’s there to worry about?
Don’t I make you dizzy love?

There was a time I’d follow you right to the end of the earth.

Maybe I should have turned around,
and gone straight to your house,
and put it all back to how it was.
I know it’s not helping but I can’t help it.
That thought always gets back in somehow,
and it gets back in so loud…

Oh it’s gonna take time,
and it’s gonna be slow.
Will take all of my might to not look back at all.

If all the words you attached to me never just fell from your mouth.

Why didn’t you just turn around,
and stop me at that underpass,
and put it all back to how it was.
I know we weren’t working but,
we could’ve worked on it.
All that distance never outreached my love.
