I just want my heart to beat

So when will you make your way to see me

What's your secret anyway

'Cause my light is fading on empty streets

I light a torch to catch your eye

Bright lights in time of darkness

Incandescent, uncompared

You could be two meters away from me

But it seems light years sometimes, dear

But even distant, I'm with you

The Sun shines brighter now, the skies are empty

And the loudest bird songs fill us up again

We love their noise

Applause on door steps swells like Sunday church bells

The sound of seas and gravel roads

They cheer us back to Earth

I know you like my hometown

And you're still cool within the fire

Watching nothing become everything

The distance from you feels so close

Safe is where you are tonight

But the Sun shines brighter now, the skies are empty

And the loudest bird songs fill us up again

We love their noise

Applause on door steps swells like Sunday church bells

The sound of seas and gravel roads

They cheer us back to Earth

The Sun shines brighter now, the skies are empty

And the loudest bird songs fill us up again

We love their noise

Applause on door steps swells like Sunday church bells

The sound of seas and gravel roads

They cheer us back to Earth
