00:00Said it twice, now I know it good When I looked into your eyes
00:10For the first time I had seen The better half of me
00:20And I would say I never can Be the bearer of bad news
00:33Cos my heart's perched on the blues It's the simple things I see in you
00:45It's a game of show and tell With my hands laid bare as well
00:54All the scars I can't propel But you take them in yourself
01:04Wishing time would hold my hands But I realise I never could
01:16Walk a world I never stood Till you came to my rescue
01:27All my life I waited to fill my days with your hours
01:33Cos time in a world that's ours Fell worth it to plant all the flowers
01:40Cos all my days I'd spend all alone When open it left me
01:46My patience had finally left me By the grace of your heart you said ready
01:54Six words that'll never leave Cos I love you too, you know
02:02Near the bells of the eastern zone Many miles away from home
02:12Mmm, in a wave while I drift to sea Feel the weightlessness of me
02:25On a shoulder to which you lean
02:31All my life I waited to fill my days with your hours
02:38Cos time in a world that's ours Fell worth it to plant all the flowers
02:44Cos all my days I'd spend all alone When open it left me
02:50My patience had finally left me By the grace of your heart you said ready
02:56Cos all my life I waited to fill my days with your hours
03:03Cos time in a world that's ours Fell worth it to plant all the flowers
03:09Cos all my days I'd spend all alone When open it left me
03:16My patience had finally left me By the grace of your heart you said ready
