Swallow, come home, is it more than you bargained for?
I went outside and I saw it all
Taking your time to decide if it’s worth it
And I stay at home seeing ghosts from the past
Giving up talking to walls, just myself
And you went so far, far away east this time
Do you know what I’ve done, that I’ve seen it all?
Do you know what I need, what I’m waiting for?
And I’m wishing myself into obscurity
You will come home, I’ll have seen to it all
Cutting the edges off everything, talking to everyone
Try to make sense and bored of the attention
The outline will harden, start to look like something
Shapes taking their places and colours will form
We talk possibility, everything I can see
Making you listen and hold on to the hope
Far away, far from me, everything glistens
You know that I’ve seen the way it begins
And I would do anything to see it again
I would do anything to see what I’m waiting for
I would do anything to see what I’m waiting for
I would do anything to see what I’m waiting for!
I would do anything to see what I’m waiting for!
I would do anything to see what I’m waiting for!
Swallow, come home and take care of the mess I’ve made
Swallow, come home I’m afraid of the answerphone
Hand on my heart I’m too much for a man to take
This fog I’ve been under will bury us both
Swallow, you make it so easy to love you
I know nothing out there gives back what it takes
I’ve been a fool for always forgetting
But I would do anything to see it again
I would do anything to see it again
I would do anything to see it again
I would do anything to see it again
