Lyrics:
I was far out
Further than before
And the water
Was coming up aboard
I could see you
Waving from afar
With a sunlit smile
Never known the dark
Further than before
And the water
Was coming up aboard
I could see you
Waving from afar
With a sunlit smile
Never known the dark
In the morning
On the cusp of afternoon
I was tiring
With everything to lose
As you lay there
Head upon the sand
And I look on helpless
Done everything I can
On the cusp of afternoon
I was tiring
With everything to lose
As you lay there
Head upon the sand
And I look on helpless
Done everything I can
Oh distract myself with the sight of you I swear
Oh my sore eyes were caught so unaware
How I wish right now that I was standing there
But you seem so far away
Oh my sore eyes were caught so unaware
How I wish right now that I was standing there
But you seem so far away
Yeah you're on the island
But the pull of the moon won't let this tide in
So you're sat there smiling
Whilst I'm left to sail away
And the water is rising
When it happens to me it's the worst of times
It's the sun to the drought
Or the flood and the rain
The rain
But the pull of the moon won't let this tide in
So you're sat there smiling
Whilst I'm left to sail away
And the water is rising
When it happens to me it's the worst of times
It's the sun to the drought
Or the flood and the rain
The rain
I was far out
Further than before
And the water
Was coming up aboard
I could see you
Waving from afar
With a sunlit smile
Never known the dark
Further than before
And the water
Was coming up aboard
I could see you
Waving from afar
With a sunlit smile
Never known the dark
In the evening
Losing all the light
Just the stars out
Stippling the sky
But you stayed there
Weathering the cold
'Till winter's over
My precious gold
Losing all the light
Just the stars out
Stippling the sky
But you stayed there
Weathering the cold
'Till winter's over
My precious gold
Oh distract myself with the sight of you I swear
Oh my sore eyes were caught so unaware
How I wish right now that I was standing there
But you seem so far away
Oh my sore eyes were caught so unaware
How I wish right now that I was standing there
But you seem so far away
Yeah you're on the island
But the pull of the moon won't let this tide in
So you're sat there smiling
Whilst I'm left to sail away
And the water is rising
When it happens to me it's the worst of times
It's the sun to the drought
Or the flood and the rain
The rain
The rain
But the pull of the moon won't let this tide in
So you're sat there smiling
Whilst I'm left to sail away
And the water is rising
When it happens to me it's the worst of times
It's the sun to the drought
Or the flood and the rain
The rain
The rain
You're on the island
But the pull of the moon won't let this tide in
So you're sat there smiling
Whilst I'm left to sail away
And the water is rising
When it happens to me it's the worst of times
It's the sun to the drought
Or the flood and the rain
The rain
But the pull of the moon won't let this tide in
So you're sat there smiling
Whilst I'm left to sail away
And the water is rising
When it happens to me it's the worst of times
It's the sun to the drought
Or the flood and the rain
The rain
I made it from the outside
I've not been home in such a long time
I see my dog
I see the coastline
Not much has changed
It still rains in July
And I could call it like I always knew
I'd feel so lost without much hope to lose
Just when I need someone to pull me through
The silence
It's like
I've not been home in such a long time
I see my dog
I see the coastline
Not much has changed
It still rains in July
And I could call it like I always knew
I'd feel so lost without much hope to lose
Just when I need someone to pull me through
The silence
It's like
I'm falling apart
But you know where to start
'Cause you're piecing me right back together
And where else would I go?
I'll stay still like the stone
Well who cares if it's worn out and weathered?
But you know where to start
'Cause you're piecing me right back together
And where else would I go?
I'll stay still like the stone
Well who cares if it's worn out and weathered?
Maybe it's all just a misunderstanding
'Cause I couldn't wait to cast the time away
Thrown to the ocean like a line just landed
With nothing to find except the pull of the waves
If I'm to stay here like an island
If I'm to wait out for the turn of the tide
Well then I'll try not to be frightened
And hold on for the sun upon your skyline
'Cause I couldn't wait to cast the time away
Thrown to the ocean like a line just landed
With nothing to find except the pull of the waves
If I'm to stay here like an island
If I'm to wait out for the turn of the tide
Well then I'll try not to be frightened
And hold on for the sun upon your skyline
I'm falling apart
But you know where to start
'Cause you're piecing me right back together
And where else would I go?
I'll stay still like the stone
Well who cares if it's worn out and weathered?
If every hour's moving faster
If every day's a fleeting moment in time
It doesn't mean it doesn't matter
'Cause I'll live for the peace here by your side
But you know where to start
'Cause you're piecing me right back together
And where else would I go?
I'll stay still like the stone
Well who cares if it's worn out and weathered?
If every hour's moving faster
If every day's a fleeting moment in time
It doesn't mean it doesn't matter
'Cause I'll live for the peace here by your side
I'm falling apart
But you know where to start
'Cause you're piecing me right back together
And where else would I go?
I'll stay still like the stone
Well who cares if it's worn out and weathered?
And I could call it like I always knew
I'd feel so lost without much hope to lose
Just when I need someone to pull me through
The silence
It's like
But you know where to start
'Cause you're piecing me right back together
And where else would I go?
I'll stay still like the stone
Well who cares if it's worn out and weathered?
And I could call it like I always knew
I'd feel so lost without much hope to lose
Just when I need someone to pull me through
The silence
It's like
I'm falling apart
But you know where to start
'Cause you're piecing me right back together
And where else would I go?
I'll stay still like the stone
Well who cares if it's worn out and weathered?
If every hour's moving faster
If every day's a fleeting moment in time
It doesn't mean it doesn't matter
'Cause I'll live for the peace here by your side
But you know where to start
'Cause you're piecing me right back together
And where else would I go?
I'll stay still like the stone
Well who cares if it's worn out and weathered?
If every hour's moving faster
If every day's a fleeting moment in time
It doesn't mean it doesn't matter
'Cause I'll live for the peace here by your side
I missed your name
And now I wish that I was listening
'Cause I felt great
Talking it out with you
I wanna say
That there's hardly a time if I stop to think that
I've felt that way
In the last year or two
And now I wish that I was listening
'Cause I felt great
Talking it out with you
I wanna say
That there's hardly a time if I stop to think that
I've felt that way
In the last year or two
Oh it's hard, isn't it hard
Living your life hung up on the past?
You're taking every hit
But you can't, know that you can't
Turn round, go back to the start
So make the most of this
Living your life hung up on the past?
You're taking every hit
But you can't, know that you can't
Turn round, go back to the start
So make the most of this
All that I was hoping
All that I would say
Is I'll be more than coping
And things will find their way
I thought it would complete me
And fall into place
Lining up all neatly
But nothing seems to change
I've only me to blame
All that I would say
Is I'll be more than coping
And things will find their way
I thought it would complete me
And fall into place
Lining up all neatly
But nothing seems to change
I've only me to blame
I missed your name
Over all the background noise
It just seemed to escape
The thoughts inside my head
For goodness sake
I scold myself, I curse my name
'Cause it was my mistake
And I make it again and again
Over all the background noise
It just seemed to escape
The thoughts inside my head
For goodness sake
I scold myself, I curse my name
'Cause it was my mistake
And I make it again and again
Oh it's hard, isn't it hard
Living your life hung up on the past?
You're taking every hit
But you can't, know that you can't
Turn round, go back to the start
So make the most of this
Living your life hung up on the past?
You're taking every hit
But you can't, know that you can't
Turn round, go back to the start
So make the most of this
All that I was hoping
All that I would say
Is I'll be more than coping
And things will find their way
I thought it would complete me
And fall into place
Lining up all neatly
But nothing seems to change
All that I would say
Is I'll be more than coping
And things will find their way
I thought it would complete me
And fall into place
Lining up all neatly
But nothing seems to change
And every time it seems I'm overthinking
Whatever I do it doesn't make a difference
And I know that I should try to feel uplifted
But still I don't
Whatever I do it doesn't make a difference
And I know that I should try to feel uplifted
But still I don't
No, all that I was hoping
All that I would say
Is I'll be more than coping
And things will find their way
I thought it would complete me
And fall into place
Lining up all neatly
But nothing seems to change
I've only me to blame
All that I would say
Is I'll be more than coping
And things will find their way
I thought it would complete me
And fall into place
Lining up all neatly
But nothing seems to change
I've only me to blame
I was safe in your arms for the evening
Not quite tired, but it felt like dreaming
Knelt upon the edge, balancing my best
Too many times I arrive at the same place
Toeing the line was the biggest mistake
I could have made, needless to say
Not quite tired, but it felt like dreaming
Knelt upon the edge, balancing my best
Too many times I arrive at the same place
Toeing the line was the biggest mistake
I could have made, needless to say
I thought I was better to go without you
But I don't think that quite holds true
As I've learned the past few days
Listening out for your pulse in the evensong
Trying my best here, holding on
As you're drifting away
Oh, all that I have known
I've lost or I've outgrown
It's out of reach
But I don't think that quite holds true
As I've learned the past few days
Listening out for your pulse in the evensong
Trying my best here, holding on
As you're drifting away
Oh, all that I have known
I've lost or I've outgrown
It's out of reach
All it takes is the slightest of seconds
To switch up the surface and change my perceptions
All I thought I knew is changing like the view
On a cold night in the middle of December
What of the summer months? I can't remember
Lost to turning tides and shifting paradigms
To switch up the surface and change my perceptions
All I thought I knew is changing like the view
On a cold night in the middle of December
What of the summer months? I can't remember
Lost to turning tides and shifting paradigms
Oh I thought I was better to go without you
But I don't think that quite holds true
As I've learned the past few days
Listening out for your pulse in the evensong
Trying my best here, holding on
As you're drifting away
Oh, all that I have known
I've lost or I've outgrown
It's out of reach
But I don't think that quite holds true
As I've learned the past few days
Listening out for your pulse in the evensong
Trying my best here, holding on
As you're drifting away
Oh, all that I have known
I've lost or I've outgrown
It's out of reach
Oh I thought I was better to go without you
But I don't think that quite holds true
As I've learned the past few days
Listening out for your pulse in the evensong
Trying my best here, holding on
As you're drifting away
Oh, all that I have known
I've lost or I've outgrown
It's out of reach
All that I have known
I've lost or I've outgrown
Now I see
But I don't think that quite holds true
As I've learned the past few days
Listening out for your pulse in the evensong
Trying my best here, holding on
As you're drifting away
Oh, all that I have known
I've lost or I've outgrown
It's out of reach
All that I have known
I've lost or I've outgrown
Now I see
