Pennine

Lyrics: Joe Jerome Newman Music: Joe Jerome Newman I keep fighting the desire to return To who we were two hours ago Off at the next stop, taxi back to you alone To salvage the ship I sunk, breathless next to you Slow-motion heartache compliments that landscape On the train north to Leeds Painted over black night, slow-motion landslide Streetlights in towns I'll never see in day Could it be? (Could it be? Could it be? Could it be?) You want to depend on just you You should leave (You should leave, you should leave, you should leave) Us at the bottom of what could have been Swim away to two other ocеans In time, you’ll both be happy again Sleeping suburbs, the odd lit window In onе, I catch a woman who catches me Leaving her smile, I scale across the hill line Down moon blue fields set in dry stone like ice cubes Slow-motion heartache compliments that landscape On the train north to Leeds Painted over black night, slow-motion landslide Streetlights in towns I'll never see in day Could it be? (Could it be? Could it be? Could it be?) You want to depend on just you You should leave (You should leave, you should leave, you should leave) Us at the bottom of what could have been Swim away to two different oceans In time, you’ll both be happy again Tomorrow can wait Tomorrow can wait My regret stretches over the Pennines Use hinoki cypress and sandalwood, a fragrance for change Your history of texts burning holes into my thigh Accept the burn, draw from the nerve Like leaving her room quietly as she cried Maple stretch up in the breeze The ache to reach what's out of reach I'm out of reach My heart stretches over the Pennines
