Great Heights

(album: and everybody else smiled back - 2021)

We can't sleep on concrete floors
We know this by now
It's the thought that counts
We still attempt
And I haven't seen you in days, or weeks, or months, or years
I'm not that clear
Tell me everything you saw
When you went out for fresh air

We'd reach such great heights
If we could just make our beds in the morning
We'd reach such great heights
If we could just make our beds in the morning

I'd wake you up before I leave
I know you'd still be asleep
I'd wipe the sunrise off your cheek
And say goodbye
(One, two, three, four)
Everybody needs a reason
Everybody needs a reason
To feel absolute
To feel absolutely grim the next day (Woah)

We'd reach such great heights
If we could just make our beds in the morning
We'd reach such great heights
If we could just make our beds in the morning

I love everybody here, but I am too scared to say it
I want to see you bloom
Into flowers so vivid and vibrant that sunflowers swoon
But the broken glass is mine (That's mine)
And the fairy lights are mine (Oh yeah, that's mine too)
And you on the pavement's mine (Who's that?)
And your smile on my shoulder, well that's mine

We'd reach such great heights
If we could just make our beds in the morning
We'd reach such great heights
If we could just make our beds in the morning
We'd reach such great heights
If we could just make our beds in the morning
