Lyrics
Find another songArms outstretched like a baby to his favourite toy
Coming home to the family feel like I'm a baby boy again
Warm embrace, I can see the empty space in my room
Yeah
I miss how I used to see my momma on the day to day
Said I miss how I used to see my brother on the way to station
But I've been busy in this inner city with his wind in my sails
I see you, like, never
But you've shaped my life for forever
And I don't know no love that better
I tell you whenever I can
I don't show it enough
But that's just the way that I'm set up
'Cause I don't know no love that's better than
The way that you loved me back then
Back then
I miss painting all the walls of rooms inside my favourite voice
I can hear my longing ring from miles and miles for me to fill the void
It's noise and sparks
Noise, then dark
Noise, noise, no, no, no
No, no, no
Why is it so hard to let go?
Memories are like an echo
Running through me like the metro
I can't get you out my veins
Hold me like I'm made of Play-Doh
Teach me how to find the way home
I'll do anything you say, so
Wouldn't want it any other way
Why is it so hard to let go?
Memories are like an echo
Running through me like the metro
I can't get you out my veins
Hold me like I'm made of Play-Doh
Teach me how to find the way home
I'll do anything you say, so
Wouldn't want it any other way
I see you, like, never
But you've shaped my life for forever
And I don't know no love that better
The way that you loved me back then
Back then
