lyrics

Thoughts like paper aeroplanes
Are flying through my mind,
Messing with my memories
Like the creases of kindness
In the corners of your eyes,
Each time you smile at me

The sunrise over the horizon breaks
My concentration
Waves crash over the shore as I search
In desperation

I went searching for you
To search for the love you've awoken
Searching for me
I search to find out I'm still broken

The words to say how I feel
And verbalise my soul
Have all but deserted me (try to make up for the damage I’ve done)
Emotions held deep inside
No longer have control
Quickly pour out of me (can you forgive me and let me atone)

The longing of each waking moment,
Sweet, anticipation
The distance I've travelled so far as I search
In desperation

Mistakes that I made,
The regret for the debts I can't pay
Don't tell me there's no turning back
It's forgiveness I ask
I will travel the world 'til the end
Won't you let me back in
Can't we bury the past and begin, again?

Thoughts like paper aeroplanes
Are flying through my mind
Fleeting distant memories (am I forgiven for all that I’ve done)
Forgiven with kindness
The deceptions and the lies
With tired eyes you smile at me (I wake to your smile; a new day has begun)

A new day has dawned from those shadows
Through Grace not obligation (la, la, la, la, la)
The storms we have weathered so far give our love
its validation (la di da, la di da, la di di da, la)

I went searching for you, (searching for you)
To win back the love I had stolen
Searching for me (searching for me)
I searched to repair what was broken
