lyrics

you're the distance of a decade, they can't bring you down
you're eyes are so much more, than just a delicate brown
it's funny how things change in just the space of a day
you've got so much to say in such a beautiful way

noone knows what theyre doing its a great place to start
just don't keep your guns in the back of your heart
and don't ever doubt that you're a work of art, i would know

there's colour and there's sadness in the things that you've seen
it's really something special to land on your feet
you're a dear, you're a season, you're a boat, you're a bird
you're too much for a song and i'm all out of words

chorus

you could never live inside your castle of paperbacks
