It's easy to dismiss the 'what's it all about' crowd.
There is no doubt. it's this, here, now.
And you close your eyes. /|
He's not coming back.
/ |
So you work it out, overfeed the cat. |
And the plants are dry and they need to drink.
__|
So you do your best. and you flood the sink.
Sit down in the kitchen and cry.
Now you've worked it out
__
And you see it all | |
And you've worked it out /

How you see it all

Now the universe left you for a runners lap.
It feels like home when it comes crashing back.
And it makes you laugh
And it makes you cry, /|
When London falls
/ |
And you're still alive. |
The radio stutters,
__|
It makes you laugh
And the aftermath,
Open up your eyes.
You're so alive.
Now you've worked it out
And you see it all
And you've worked it out
__
And you see it all | |
And you want to shout /
How you see it all
/
How you've worked it out |

And you see it all
How you've worked it out
And you see it all

Jumped out the passenger side
The only thing worth looking for
Is what you find inside

There is a calm, I haven't come to the end
I spent half my life figuring what comes next
I telescoped in I finally win
I finally win the prize.

Head first fighting everything
The crushing force of memory
Erasing all i've been
