Lyrics
Marks To Prove It
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
No one was crying
They simply got a little something in their eye
No one was lonely
They just could not get hold of anybody
Over the summer, a lot changed
And they all changed to keep up with it
Too complicated
Too complex to talk to anybody
Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (rolling shadow)
Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (fallen arrow)
All this is sky light
Forget that it's there but it's there, no doubt about it
Take a photo of it, come back years on
And wonder why you took it
Thousands of people
Tight lines and hopes the weather stays the weekend
Clouds and rain
And no one cares 'til they've got the marks to prove it
Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (rolling shadow)
Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (fallen arrow)
Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (rolling shadow)
Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (fallen arrow)
(Rolling shadows, fallen arrows)
Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (rolling shadow)
Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (fallen arrow)
Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (rolling shadow)
Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (fallen arrow)
