lyrics

It’s how you mend
The strings inside his heart
Delicate but strong
When after hours and hours they just simply came apart

He stops short from the reason for the questions
He realised it doesn’t matter
It’s not the journeys it’s the last
On his list of destinations

It’s the end when you’re tuning up the night
Carrying the bricks you build
Around the home you tend to oh so well
Cleaning up after the fight

When curiosity and chaos align
When he’s already turned the corner
And there’s nothing different there
He just falters every time

You may be surprised
If everything came spilling out
Or it might be quite expected
You might not be in any doubt
And he may jump if pushed a little more
Or he may stay standing on the edge
Find his footing on the floor
And he might make sure he does everything there is
To keep your hand in his

Does it work when the pieces get attention
When figures in the distance have gone behind the clouds and your decisions are barely worth a mention

When he mends
The strings inside your heart
Delicate but strong
and after hours and hours you know they’ll never come apart
