lyrics

I’ve been turning these words over in my mouth
Writing them down, trying them out
 Pretending that they’re mine already, 
Making pacts with cupid
 What If I spoil it by saying something stupid?

  Spent but never wasted
A summer picking brains
 We spent the summer catching trains
 I can’t explain it and make it sound lucid,
 Instead I’ll spoil it by saying something stupid...  

A thousand words,
 In my head
 Three words to put to bed
 Drowning in the overflow
 I only wanted you to know....  

You make me feel
 Like home’s a person, not a place
 You make me feel
 Like life's a journey, not a race
 I’m tongue tied, tired and blue 
and the only thing I see is true
 Is that I only feel like me when I’m with you...

Grass stains and sunburnt shoulders
Candy apples as the bonfire smoulders
When you went home I couldn’t place how I felt
Now there’s a part of me that lives somewhere else 

A thousand words,
 In my head
 Three words to put to bed
 Drowning in the overflow
 I only wanted you to know....  

You make me feel
 Like home’s a person, not a place
 You make me feel
 Like life's a journey, not a race
 I’m tongue tied, tired and blue 
and the only thing I see is true
 Is that I only feel like me when I’m with you...

(you make me feel) - repeated

I had plans y’know before you came and intruded
Now all I think about, now all I think about is saying something stupid...

I just wanna be inside your arms.. x 2

You make me feel
 Like home’s a person, not a place
 You make me feel
 Like life's a journey, not a race
 I’m tongue tied, tired and blue 
and the only thing I see is true
 Is that I only feel like me when I’m with you...
When I’m with you...
