Willow Pattern

Dreaming of the willow pattern
A phase I'm going through
Dreaming of the willow pattern
There's something I should do
I'd never see the world without you
You opened up my eyes
I'd never see the world without you
And now I realise
Never turn around
Never transit / chance it
Never play dead
Don't ever walk backwards
Never turn around
Never transit / chance it
Never play dead
Don't ever walk backwards
You should never take a thing for granted
You only miss it when it's gone
And it's stupid to be holding grudges
Because we only got so long
So long [x7]
I'm dreaming of the willow pattern
She kept it in her room
An oriental china set
A gift I would assume
She told me how you loved her so much
That everybody died
Another universal theme
Don't hold it all inside
Never turn around
Never transit / chance it
Never play dead
Don't ever walk backwards
Never turn around
Never transit / chance it
Never play dead
Don't ever walk backwards
You should never take a thing for granted
You only miss it when it's gone
And it's stupid to be holding grudges
Because we only got so long
So long [x7]
I affiliate with you [x6]
I know we'd all have died
Never turn around
Never transit / chance it
Never play dead
Don't ever walk backwards
Never turn around
Never transit / chance it
Never play dead
Don't ever walk backwards
You should never take a thing for granted
You only miss it when it's gone
And it's stupid to be holding grudges
Because we only got so long
Laaauuuh...
