Three Of Swords – Calum Hood
Three Of Swords Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All of the guilt that I’ve been coughing up
All of the tar that’s painted on the walls
All of the comfort spilling from my cup
There’s no one here that could stop me
[Pre-Chorus]
Shimmering light, flowers by the bunch
A good night’s rest, anything you want
A peaceful life for everything but us
At our place, at our place
[Chorus]
Did you imagine when we were younger
I wouldn’t see you for what felt like a thousand years?
We put an expiration date on forever
Drifted into a mile high of in-betweens
[Verse 2]
Letting the senses fail on overload
Hearing the voices carry through the hall
Saving the faces that I used to know
There’s no one here that could help me
[Pre-Chorus]
Glistening white through the windowpanes
Big green plants taking up the space
A simple life for everything but us
At our place, at our place (Ah)
[Chorus]
Did you imagine when we were younger
I wouldn’t see you for what felt like a thousand years?
We put an expiration date on forever
Drifted into a mile high of in-betweens
[Bridge]
When you’re all alone
Do you think of me?
When the pillow turns (Ooh)
Into concrete (Ah)
When you’re wide awake (I should’ve called)
Do you wander back? (Ah)
Can you make it still? (Ooh)
Are you coming home? (Ah)
And I’ll love you close
[Outro]
(Did you imagine when we were younger?)
From the belly ache
To the grazed knees
(Did you imagine when we were younger?)
Can you make it still?
Did you imagine when
(Did you imagine when we were younger?)
We were younger
Did you imagine when
(Did you imagine when we were younger?)
