  • Just close your eyes
    And count to five
    Let's craft the only thing we know into surprise
    Set down your glass

    I painted this
    To look like you and me forever as we're now

    [Chorus]
    And I'm shaking and I'm still
    When you're eyes meet mine all the simple skills
    Like to tell you all I want, is now

    You say I'm cold
    I'm just not the same
    As I was a year ago
    And each minute since then

    My jumper tears
    As we take off
    You say you'll sew me good as new
    And I know you will

    [Chorus: x2] Writer/s: GARY LIGHTBODY, JONATHAN GRAHAM QUINN, NATHAN CONNOLLY, PAUL WILSON, TOM SIMPSON
