Lyrics
Slip out as the dawn begins to break
silently your footsteps start to fade away
light begins to creep in through the shade
the chill of night begins to dissipate
somewhere in the morning lies a breath
the fresh, the new, the undiscovered scent
the birds begin to call across the pavement
waking up the world with all their songs and all their arguments
The memory, it gets to me, it sinks into my skin
It’s asking me so tenderly if I could let you in
and if I do, then what of you becomes a part of me?
when all I want to be is extraordinary
Cover up the weakness in my head
sink into the sheets upon my bed
sing a lullaby that doesn’t end
I could fall asleep with your defence
keep my body wrapped up in your arms
the shadows couldn’t do me any harm
if I get distracted by you please don’t be alarmed
I’m searching for the subtleties of all your breathless charm
I would rather like it if you didn’t disappear
just keep on caressing me like you still need me here
I could lie and beg you for the things that I still need
but if we’re being honest I just want you to protect me
