Swallowed The Key (Interlude)

(Album: From Me To You - 2021)

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh (Ugh)

I want you back here (Oh)
Life will never be the same as last year
I think something must've closed me
And swallowed the key

Now I'm standing right here (Right here)
Waiting in the middle of the night here (Night, ooh)
In the stars, sometimes I see you
Do you see me too?
You don't know who I am, no matter how much you think you do
No matter how much you think it through
No matter how much I try to explain
Something's contained
And nothing's to blame
Write a few songs and hope they don't come true
Right a few wrongs and hope they all undo
Lock your river in a cage, and act surprised when it all falls through

I want you back here (Oh)
Life will never be the same as last year
I think something must've closed me
And swallowed the key

Only then could the real work begin
Finding the new route and fixing the rope for it
Progress on some days was down to a hundred feet
The ice ridge was proving tougher than anyone had expected
