lyrics

feathers grow from where you kissed my back last night
in more than one way i've been contemplating flight
right now if you don't mind i need to close my eyes
so i can't see how far i'm falling

don't give me a single hour if all your clocks are wrong
don't give me a single line if all you've got's a song
again i find i press rewind and go back to last night
so i can see how far you're falling

i'm going up past the weather to the sky this time

the truth is, when you say my name
like you did, windows open wide
the truth is, i want you to come by
so i can really fly and i don't have to fly away

if i could have one thing of yours i'd take a smile
put it on a string and wear it 'round my neck a while
hanging there we could declare something is going on
maybe the world will see we've fallen

i'm going up past the weather to the sky this time

the truth is, when you say my name
like you did, windows open wide
the truth is, i want you to come by
so i can really fly and i don't have to fly away
