lyrics

Come and peel your eyes again
Search the TV guide just for your name
Tiresome words just blur into the page

Come and take a seat again
It's these antiques shows that keep you sane my love
Not the caffeine teaming through your veins, and now I’ll

Hold my tongue, and pray for words to say
It’s not the way I ever planned
Anything you ever have or make,
Can be taken right from your hands

Oh no, I’m stuck for words to say
Its not the way I’ll ever play
Anything you ever have or make,
Can be taken right from your hands

Thumbing through freeads again
Expectations rise in you with age
Laughter ripples over every page

An old man mows the lawn again
It’s still the Jewel within his broken crown
I feel a smile and then look down, and now I'll
