Secret Worlds

Hopping fences we ran

Sipping swigs of our cans

Can you pass me the lighter mate, give me your fire

Filming shit on that camera you nicked (it’s my dad’s)

We can both barely stand

Over hedges we’d headlong

And on ledges we’d land

From every height I’d fall I’d call

(We hear our legends, we hear them, they call)

I’d reach out for your hand you sing

If I have to be who I was (you’re not)

Do I have to be who I am?

Didn’t the trees tell us their stories?

Yeah but we, we called them all liars

And they said come down now

But we climbed so

High, high into the night

I look at those secret worlds you call eyes

And wonder if we might

There’s something changed

The leaves like broken shards of stained glass windows

(There’s something weaved into our windows)

Oh, shining in your light

You were a king and his castle

I was every dirty rascal

If you asked me for my lighter mate I gave you my fire

I’d call as you climbed

And I’d catch you every time you fell

‘Cause I will suffer silence for the strings you tune

And I’ll withstand what’s written for the writer in you

Write me well my love, write me weird

Write me willing, write me well

Didn’t the trees tell us their stories?

Yeah but we, we thought you were mental

You were talking to trees

And they said come down now

But we climbed so

High, high into the night

I look at those secret worlds you call eyes

And wonder if we might

There’s something changed

The leaves like broken shards of stained glass windows

(There’s something weaved into our windows)

Oh, high

And on that tree I’ll carve your name

‘Cause in years to come we both know we won’t be the same

You asked me to climb I never learned

But if you ask me for my fire

Just watch me

Just watch me

Just watch me burn

Just watch me burn

There’s something changed

The leaves like broken shards of stained glass windows

(There’s something weaved into our windows)

'Cause we climbed so high

We climbed so high

There’s something changed

The leaves like broken shards of stained glass windows

There’s something weaved into our hearts/ into our windows

Oh

Shining, shining

(Welcome to ruin)
