lighting blankets on fire


Set myself on a mission
So baby please listen
Cos this one's for you
Im lighting all the blankets on fire
Can you sense my desire
To cater to you

I'm holding your heart in my hands
Gathering our memories inside
Thinking of you

I'm watching the shade fade to nothing
Sitting here just hoping for something
From you

I've walked in shame
And crawled in pain
Taken off my clothing 
And slept in the rain
Hung my pride
And put my drink aside

Opened up my house

And let a stranger inside
Cos all 
All I can see was you

Everybody knows
I'm living in the past
I know this myself
But I just want to make it last
Holding onto photos
And holding onto letters
I imagine myself 
Back in the arms of the man
I'm in love with

I've pulled back the curtains
Cos baby I'm so certain
That you'll come back 
To me

I've marked all the dates
On the calendar
Convincing the world
You're just a traveller
And that
You're coming home to me

I've walked in shame
And crawled in pain
Taken off my clothing 
And slept in the rain
Hung my pride
And put my drink aside
Opened up my house
And let a stranger inside.
Cos all 
All I can see was you

Everybody knows
I'm living in the past
I know this myself
But I just want to make it last
Holding onto photos
And holding onto letters
I imagine myself 
Back in the arms of the man
I'm in love with
