  • I've seen it last for thirty years
    Seen it bloom and end in tears
    I've seen it after school and in the park
    Sat right across me on the tube
    Seen it miss a stop or two
    Seen it trying not to fall apart

    I've heard it laced in every song
    And still the words all come out wrong
    It doesn't always answer when you call
    Brings out the worst, brings out the best
    I understand it less and less
    I guess I'm not supposed to know it all

    I've seen it dance with friends around the table
    In Eleanor, Rosie and Louise
    And it makes me cry to think that I am able
    To give it back the way it gives to me

    I've seen it grow old and forget
    Until it's just a silhouette
    'Til someone picks it up and sends it on
    I've seen the films, I've read the books
    My mum and dad, they got me hooked
    The fairy tale, the search goes on and on

    The more you look, the more you find
    It's all around you all the time
    Catches your eye, you blink and then it's gone
    Brings out the worst, brings out the best
    I know it's somewhere in my chest
    I guess it's been inside me all along Writer/s: Bastian Langebaek, Max Wolfgang, Olivia Lauryn Dean
