I'm not saying I am not scared I am petrified I've been here before And I fell off But since then I've learnt a lot I hesitate At the top again I wait I knew no fear Boy I could really fly Peddled my hardest While the world whooshed by But then it all went wrong I got a high speed wobble on And lost control I got thrown A helicopter in trouble earth bound Speedometer read 38 When my head hit the ground You said "we should be sailing down This is your chance you have to take it now" But I moved to Cardiff because it is flat! Ahh what the heck Let's do this my love No holding back

I turned you into something small To make myself big Kept you at arms length As if you were a threat Our love grew so fast It almost collapsed But now we're built to last Those questions I asked That I wish I never had I was in love But I let you go and think that I wasn't Our love grew so fast It almost collapsed But now we're built to last

Some days it feels like I will always be the same A lonely statue staring with a vacant gaze The world passes by Leaving its grubby stain Can't help feeling that I could never change Plot of my life unclear I am a torn out page I'm not a book you'd want to read again These days I get the sense that I cannot be free A boat without a crew Bobbing on open sea Drifting wherever the creeping tide takes me Holding out on everything Watching each train pass me by On and on to wherever it may be Stationary me Can't help feeling that I could never change Some days it feels like I will always be the same

We stock-piled our bad memories Hoarded things that hurt into a heap Over time we'd made a mountain of our old dirt Which we climbed and could not leave The sounds of another time Rattled and chimed in us Making the ground shift and shake up on the peak So precarious! From something old Came something new This spectacular love Spectacular view Now that we've levelled off the top Old Smokey stands so sturdy Bound together by fleshy moss It's a special hill we've built Never budging when we stamp our feet And make the dirt reverberate From something old Came something new This spectacular love Spectacular view We didn't know until we tried How it would look on the other side I'm just so glad that I've built it with you
