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
