Sunday morning and the lawns all mown
|
We walked through the Japanese Gardens Home
|
You tried to impress me by rolling a smoke
|
But your hands were shaking and the paper broke
|
I played cool and I took a drag
|
Coughed like the kid on the Panadol ad
|
You just smiled and kicked the dirt
|
Said, "We're not as cool as we thought we were"
|
|
On the night that we first kissed
|
I climbed out the window so I wouldn't be missed
|
Getting too big for the swings in the park
|
Passing the lighter in the dark
|
As the sun came up we had to leave
|
You said my name, I could feel you breathe
|
I walked home in the freezing cold
|
Heartbeat thumping through my coat
|
|
Fire and iron
|
Iron and fire
|
Tears in the water
|
Water in the wine
|
|
That awkward winter turned to spring
|
We learned a million grown-up things
|
Sharing cigarettes under the stars
|
We laughed and drank and raced your car
|
Then one morning, right on dawn
|
You the lost the wheel, you missed the turn
|
The whole world rolled on top of us
|
You said my name, but I never woke up again
|
|
Let it go, let it go
|
Where's the guy I used to know?
|
The girl I was died years ago, now she's a ghost
|
Let me go
|
|
Fire and iron
|
Iron and fire
|
I'm living your life
|
And you're living mine
|
|
Sunday morning and the lawns all mown
|
You walk through the Japanese Gardens Home
|
You look so funny with your kids in tow
|
You gave up smoking years ago
|
