They say the brightest of feathers
Win often in love
And I have seen it go that way
When all the trials and failures
In the gloaming light fall
And the feelings die away

I'm holding on to you
But living it like a child
Playing a part
Get no rise
Unless it's something new

Well if it's 6 miles you grow
From your parents
For you that don't seem far enough
It's tearing up in you
I can see it in the way you cry
All the times you were blinded
By a pain you knew

But you'll go telling me
How the waves fall and rise
Like it's nothing more
But I've been having my doubts
That these things abound in you
Won't finally overflow

Well there is much in a man
That stands to be broken
Fucking around
With the one you love
How do you take it back
Living life a porn parade
I was always proud
To be leaving in the past

Did I go telling you
Half of the ways I'd fallen around
When you'd open your door
Or that I'm having my doubts
That this pain abound in me
Hasn't finally overgrown
Here I am letting my guard down
Will you stay around me now
Or will your fright of it overflow
