  • I felt loved last night for the first time in a long time
    It feels like coming home to stay
    Like falling in the sea when it's too hot in the sun
    Made things so much worse today

    I know you said you'll miss me
    But I know that you won't
    Because time is like a wave, that washes the pain away
    When you come down
    I know I said I'll see you
    When it gets to New Year
    But now that all the rain stopped falling
    All I think is getting out of here

    I felt loved last night for the first time in a long time
    It feels like I never went away
    Like drifting back to sleep when I'm aching and I'm tired
    Made me feel so much worse today

    [Chorus]

    I know I'd be welcome but tell me how far
    Ceremonial knocks sound the gaps in my heart-beat
    And I'll never be good enough for you or for me
    I've buried my pride, I've buried my key

    I felt loved last night for the first time in a long time
    It feels like coming home to stay
    Like falling in the sea when it's too hot in the sun
    Made things so much worse today

    I know you said you'll miss me
    But I know that you won't
    Because time is lie a wave, that washes the pain away
    When you come down
    I know I said I'll see you
    When it gets to New Year
    But now that all the rain stopped falling
    All I think is getting out of here

    I felt loved last night for the first time in a long time
    It feels like I never went away
    Like drifting back to sleep when I'm aching and I'm tired
    Made me feel so much worse today

    [Chorus]

    I know I'd be welcome but tell me how far
    Ceremonial knocks sound the gaps in my heart-beat
    And I'll never be good enough for you or for me
    I've buried my pride, I've buried my key (Repeats)

    [Chorus] Writer/s: DANIEL MICHAEL RUSSELL FARRELL, DERRICK BALLARD, GAVIN BROWN, JEDIDIAH ATKINSON, RYAN DONALD HUTCHESON
