calm like you

i can still remember

when your city smelt exciting

i still get a whiff

of that aroma now and then

burglary and fireworks

the skies they were alighting

accidents and toffee drops

and thinking on the train

oh

he was young

in the frost

no regard for the cost

of saying his feelings

in the moment they were felt

and if he was calm like you

locked up inside of your loops

then he'd know full well

that all he had to say was

all he had to say was goodbye

summertime made promises

it knew it couldn't keep

the fairytale was climbing up

a mountain far too steep

colouring the pictures

with your loyal hand

now i am craving heartbreak

while you're making your demands

oh

he was young

in the frost

no regard for the cost

of saying his feelings

in the moment they were felt

and if he was calm like you

locked up inside of your loops

then he'd know full well

that all he had to say was

all he had to say was goodbye

if he was calm like you

locked up inside of your loops

then he'd know full well

that all he had to say was

all he had to say was goodbye
