All Dressed In White

(album: Elephant - 2019)

I wanna tell you how much I have changed
But I get too scared that you'd send me away
Tell me the history is too much to take

I don't relate to the boy that I was
Who poisoned the lilies and laughed at the loss
But our mutual friends say don't go there again

Every cloud is being sold to me now
Like I should be grateful that I let you down
But I don't believe in replacing the gold I found

I wanna run with you over the moor
Get out of the city take dogs on a walk
I want the car and kids now for keeps

Maybe tomorrow you'll message to say
Time that we wasted just hit like a wave
So jump in a taxi and sing till we're saved

If I am hoping for what has escaped
I'll get to coping with life as I wait
For heaven to pop up let's meet at the gates
