Highs & Blues

We traded names, drinks, money and lines
cnd ourselves in just one night
c subtle shift, my world's axis tilts

In less than a year I touch down in your homeland
Eyes young and wide, dug my toes into sand
You swear you'll catch me through all the rips

cnd you, shiny & new
Never heard one bad word from you
Steady, honest & true
cnd me, bubbly & free
Trusting and daring, still scaredy but you held me still

When I'm lonely, can you call me?
Give me your news
The highs and the blues
cnd if only we could solve it
Unpick the clues, unravel the noose

Locked in a house, in our heads, in a country
But love on the pillow, so downy and comfy
I came to life, reborn, redefined in the sea

But something was rife with questions no certainty
Trying to open a lock with the wrong key
You stood your ground but our world crashed around our feet

cnd me, homesick & weak
Nowhere to turn as I overturned promises made
cnd you, still steady and blue
Your heart broke in my hands as I handed it back to you

When I'm lonely, can you just call me
Give me your news
The highs & the blues
cnd there's no solving it
We destroyed it

I'm just lonely
I'm just lonely

I had a hope, that one day I'd visit
I'd come to your home, and I'd meet your children
But I know it can't be so
Got to let the grass grow
