Lyrics

I should have seen you were coming, I should have been prepared. After all, getting half of what you wish for isn't so rare. But still I wasn't ready, you took my by surprise, you brought a light to my dark like a word from the wise. We fell in love in the summer, when the skies were clear, but I'm still wearing my coat from winter last year. I need to set my house in order, confess and cover my sins. I need to make a home for you before inviting you in. Weather wears the mountains right down into the sea, so I will stand in the rain until I am clean. Rivers carve the country, a landscape shaped by a stream, so I will swim in the river as long as you need. Darling oh my darling you know that everything that I do is to try and make me good enough for you. Darling oh my darling you know that everywhere that I go, I'm just trying to find the fastest way back home
