Prospect

These cracks in my skin, let the darkness seep right into me
But now I’m begging for the light that you throw
Struggling to find a way, I've got to break through this uncertainty
I’m sick of spending every day, concealing all the words I want to say

Then you turn back to me, it lingers on your lips
A stale breath is all I need, but now you’re lying right beside me
What an unusual perspective, knowing I’ll fall asleep today
Looking forward to tomorrow, I guess it’ll be okay

For the first time, in a long time

We’ll wander down Prospect street
Biggest problem in our lives is what we’re gonna eat
And maybe we can stay in bed all day
Escape the cold, or get old
But it doesn’t matter anyway
Barely seven months ago
I can’t believe we didn’t know
All that time that we wasted, watching our favourite TV shows

Most of the time I find it hard to believe
I'm always trying to get a grip on my anxiety
‘Cause I never really thought I’d hear you say
All the things running through my head every single day

And usually I'd be sitting here
Waiting for everything to disappear
Like the smoke to the wind and the Sun each night
You’re my undying light

We’ll wander down Prospect street
Biggest problem in our lives is what we’re gonna eat
And maybe we can stay in bed all day
Escape the cold, or get old
But it doesn’t matter anyway

Barely seven months ago
I can’t believe we didn’t know
All that time that we wasted, watching our favourite TV shows

Maybe we can stay awake tonight
Maybe we can argue who is right
Then I’ll tell you everything I feel
I’m sorry if I double check it’s real
It’s because I know I’m not alone

When I tell my mother on the phone
That I’m sick of being on the road
And this is where I want to call my home
For the first time, in a long time

We’ll wander down Prospect street
Biggest problem in our lives is what we’re gonna eat
And maybe we can stay in bed all day
Escape the cold, or get old
But it doesn’t matter anyway

Barely seven months ago
I can’t believe we didn’t know
All that time that we wasted, watching our favourite TV shows
