New Song: Where I Hope You Are

For so long
There’s been no-one else I care about
That my heart could really be so wrong again
But it will

I had a picture in my soul
Some place warm where we could hang out when we’re old
Now it’s just – where I hope you are

These days, in so many, so many ways
My life gets bad for you
But your face when you look at me, look at me that way
Tears me in two

I had a picture, it’s not your fault
But the chair in the room where I get old
Now it’s just – where I hope you are

Oh, but there was a time
All I had to do was look at you
The world was mine
I’m telling you the world was mine

I’m so sorry
It’s like all of those deleted scenes you told me about
I’d pick them from the floor
Say, “Darlin’ show them all once more. For me.”

A child’s fears
For so many, so many years
The good life that??
But there’s no-one at the end of that smoking gun
Can’t you see your Mum and Dad just one more day

But it can happen, I’ve been told
Sometimes, babe, drunken? angels stumble home
Now it’s just where I hope you are

Oh, but there was a time
All I had to do was look at you
The world was mine
I’m telling you the world was mine

I’m so sorry
It’s like all of those deleted scenes you told me about
I’d pick them from the floor
Say, “Darlin’ show them all once more, for me.
For me.
For me.
For me.
For me”

I’m so sorry…
