i like when you put flowers in your hair,
they might have all died out but i don't care,
lying back on those roots we called our home,
and we were not to know,
that there was something lying face down in the ground,
trying to make a sound,
body broken,
swanface hunts it down,
i guess that there is something hollow in me,
but i don't care,
it's so gloomy it moves me,
it's so gloomy it moves me and you,
were trying to send me flowers 'cause you wished me well,
it's so gloomy it moves me,
and i don't feel like myself,
when i'm wishing that i could be somebody else,
have i treated you wrong,
have i taken too long,
i guess i should get home and spend more time with you,
is something trying to get me down,
breathing slow like i might drown,
my feet are floating off the ground,
but i don't care,
it's so gloomy it moves me,
it's so gloomy it moves me and you,
were trying to send me flowers 'cause you wished me well,
it's so gloomy it moves me,

i want to get up,
wait until it ends,
think i ran my luck,
take me home again (yeah yeah yeah),
believe me,
i want to get up,
time to make amends,
i just wanna go home again,
when life got too hard,
felt safe in gumley,
those drives in your car,
they make me happy,
i can’t forget when we were only,
running so fast to get to hovvdy,
those are the times that i hold closely,
‘cause when we dance, we dance so slowly,
i can’t forget when we were only,
running so fast to get to hovvdy,
those are the times that i hold closely,
‘cause when we dance, yeah we dance so slowly,
(yeah) i never want this to stop,
i’ll give you everything i’ve got,
(‘cause) when i’m without you i’m lost,
(and) i know you know where i come from,

at the small stream,
by the old tree,
just past gumley,
these are places we are from,
if i could get home,
then i know to be thankful where i'm from,
when i'm home,
yeh i know to be thankful where i'm from,
yeh we got there,
walked for hours,
danced in flowers,
all around us,
these are memories we have got,
if i could get home,
then i know to be thankful where i'm from,
when i'm home,
yeh i know to be thankful where i'm from,
this is where we belong,
together holding on,
forever lean upon,
when i was weak,
you made me strong,

if my light goes out,
will you tell me now,
will you stay around,
and do i make you proud,
‘cause i know that i need it honest,
honestly,
i’m looking at you just to give me that feeling,
‘cause i’m still messed up from that vision on the ceiling,
you told me if i ever gave up,
you’d be there and you’d save me from what i’d done,
the flowers you grew on the lawn,
they remind me of how you can be so strong,
are all the things that i have become,
all the same things that i have been running from,
and how will i know if i’m wrong,
and how d’ya know that you know that you need someone,
just hold on to me,
(how d’ya know that you know that you need someone),
just hold on to me, yeah,
(how d’ya know that you know that you need someone),

bug crusher

slowly suffocate,
on the things i should say,
‘cause i just won’t forget,
the times that you were meant,
to be the eye i see,
to be my home for me,
but now i’m older and i’m strong,
i can finally move on,
why do you crush me like a bug,
i never understood,
why do you crush me like a bug,
i never understood,
the letter that i wrote,
was meant to let you know,
that now i don’t have you around,
i can start to feel better now,
why do you crush me like a bug,
i never understood,
why do you crush me like a bug,
i never understood,
if i caught you trying to agree,
then you’d be lying,
‘cause i know that you need me,
but i’m not fighting,
i’m already gone,

at the guild hall,
everything before had started fading,
at the guild hall,
i was feeling pure emotions racing,
go shine and i’ll wait for you,
go shine and i’ll wait for you,
at the guild hall,
walking through the doors, i felt elated,
at the guild hall,
you were telling your mum how we’d made it,
go shine and i’ll wait for you,
go shine and i’ll wait for you,
throw heather in my eyes,
don’t stop until i’m blind,
throw heather in my eyes,
the best day, made me cry,

i look for my mother,
to give me the answer,
she’ll always see,
the worth in me,
she’ll always be,
my home for me,
i wish that my mother,
could find me wherever,
she’ll always go,
with me i hope,
and she’ll always know,
how much i’ve grown,
she can not ever be replaced or be forgot,
she can not ever be replaced or be forgot,
she can not ever be replaced or be forgot,
she can not,
you’re my mother,
my mother root,
you’re my mother,
my mother root,
when you sang to me all through the night,
i wish i could be there one more time,

i'm happy for our mothers,
i know that they'll be happy for me,
and now we've got each other,
i get how much more that i can see,
it's so strong,
with your headlights on,
you're burning so strong,
with those headlights on,
i'm driving up to harborough,
i know that you'll be waiting for me,
and i'll write a song like runner,
to show you how much more i can be,
it's so strong,
with your headlights on,
you're burning so strong,
with those headlights on,
if i believe in this great oak,
will this great oak believe in me,
i can't forget what you said,
that all things fade eventually,
take time to,
live life through,

that day was the best that i had,
i’m sorry sometimes that i get sad,
but all of the things that you do,
always remind me of why i am with you,
so take it slow,
with me,
i hope,
you know,
how much,
you glow,
i think we’ll build that summer house,
the one you always talked about,
and when the season starts to change,
can i be there to rearrange,
all of the orchids that you grew,
forever makes me think of you,
i’m sure that i’m staying,
sometimes yeah we do fight,
but things i know will be alright,
you got me smiling all the way home,
late walks with me at night,
you’ll guide me back with your phone light,
you got me smiling all the way home,
you,
you got me,
you got me smiling all the way home,

if i forgot to say,
that you look nice today,
then i should write it down,
‘cause i need you now,
i never knew what i’d got,
we’d never been apart,
how much that i depend on you,
is starting to come through,
i never knew what i’d got,
we’d never been apart,
how much that i depend on you,
now you're in my head,
when you walked through that door,
i’d never been so sure,
and that dress that you had on,
was my favourite one,
i never knew what i’d got,
we’d never been apart,
how much that i depend on you,
is starting to come through,
i never knew what i’d got,
we’d never been apart,
how much that i depend on you,
now you're in my head,
so slow,
this is what we planned,
so slow,
‘cause we understand,
the ring on our hands,
is what we planned,
