lyrics

Her heavy eyes held a secret,
Her mouth unlikely to tell,
She no longer felt worthy,
Yet she still felt worthy of hell,
We spoke into the morning,
And as the windows were lit by the sun,
We'd been talking for hours,
And yet the real talking finally begun.

She said, 'It's kind of like the frost on the window pane,
I'm trying to see clearly, I fear I'm going insane,
And as the light scatters,
I wonder was it all in vain,
Was it all in vain?'

Stop, for just a little while,
I'll try to make you smile,
As we pass on by,
Forget, the way the world seems,
It's only nightmares and dreams,
Keeping those illusions alive.

Something swinging like a melody,
Reminds me of the nature of life's uncertainty,
Something moved me like a memory,
Swelling up inside, a new found sense of urgency.

Do I even know the meaning of success?
I feel I'm crawling, but I hope I'm making progress,
Or maybe I just need to learn to settle down,
Settle down.

Stop, for just a little while,
I'll try to make you smile,
As we pass on by,
Forget, the way the world seems,
It's only nightmares and dreams,
Keeping those illusions alive.

Something swinging like a melody,
Reminds me of the nature of life's uncertainty,
Something moved me like a memory,
Swelling up inside, a new found sense of urgency.

I hear the blues in your voice I confess,
I think it's time for us to address,
The hidden reasons keeping us down,
What's keeping us down?
Those ideas in our mind, we like to idealise,
But we don't leave much room for doubt.
Those footprints faded now,
Still we don't realise,
That's not what it's all about, no.

Something swinging like a melody,
Reminds me of the nature of life's uncertainty,
Something moved me like a memory,
Swelling up inside, a new found sense of urgency.
Something swinging like a melody,
Something moved me like a memory,
Something swinging like a melody,
Something moved me like a memory...
