Pull Me Through

there’s paper scattered on the lawn
birds up on the line
there’s letters left unopened here
there never is the time
there’s messages i should return
and people i should call
i’m still tripping over echoes left lying in the hall
there’s light comes through the darkness slowly to my eyes
you can fall back here forever
i just never realised
oh time won’t let me go
and every night i know
that you could pull me though
you could always pull me through
even when i’m lying heredrowning in my blues
you take the sting out of the rain
and bring the sun back up again
you could always pull me through
oh we stood outside together
and we laughed like ancient friends
then we lay down in a field
just where the road begins and ends
well i see you in the mirror
and i watch you from afar
my friends all think i’m crazy
but i know the way things are
outside i hear voices underneath the moon
but i’m faithful for whatever breaks the silence of this room
oh time won’t let me go
and every night i know
that you could pull me through
you could always pull me through
even when i’m lying here
drowning in my blues
you take the sting out of the rain
and bring the sun back up again
darling, you could always pull me through
i hope you’re travelling well now
and there are stars over your head
i hope the river carries you everywhere you said
well i miss the way you look at me
the way you wear your hair
i miss the conversations we left hanging in the air
oh late at night i wake up, wonder what’s been done
but i know our life together will go on and on
you could pull me through
you could always pull me through
wrapped your arms around me
and chase away my blues
you take the sting out of the rain
and bring the sun back up again
and you could always pull me through
you could always pull me through

it’s devastatingly sad, but i just can’t get enough.
