Packed up or thrown away, all of the things I didn't want to save,
Boxes line the walls where pictures should be.
And it's getting kind of late, but I wanted to write this song today,
It's a new start, turn a lighthouse on for me,
As though I'm lost at sea.
I'm with a mate, and we're both the type,
Who would risk themself to save the other's life,
But I'm still backtracking many moons,
To when we lay on a tidy floor, a breeze trickling in through your open door,
There's never a day when I'm not in love with you.
I've gone and refreshed, it's taken tonight,
But I think I've unpacked the last box.
Reloading the years, I'm hitting F5,
Found the key that both fits and unlocks-
All of the doors.
Tanned arms and pen-streaked palms,
Excitement contrasting with total calm,
Green eyes meet my own and smile.
One day, we'll make it big,
But for now I'm a dreamer in the way I live,
Get away, get away,
Gotta be brave if we're gonna try!
I've gone and refreshed, it's taken tonight,
But I think I've unpacked the last box.
Reloading the years, I'm hitting F5,
Found the key that both fits and unlocks-
All of the doors.
Short breaths and a brand new home,
'Cos this is where my heart is now, didn't you know?
Someone, just try and take this from me.
And it's getting kind of late, but I've got no desire to put my guitar away,
It feels just fine to be lost at sea, if I'm with you.
I've gone and refreshed, it's taken tonight,
But I think I've unpacked the last box.
Reloading the years, I'm hitting F5,
Found the key that both fits and unlocks-
All of the doors.
