[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Earth went sil
ent, London f
ell asleep
She dreamed of
winter where
you appeared t
o me
Perfect timing
as new petals
in November
A tender creat
ure, a fever,
disarming, flu
orescent
[Chorus]
There you were
with your mir
ror
Shining the wo
rld all over m
e
There I was wi
th my butterfl
y net
Trying to catc
h your light
[Verse 2]
I collected st
upid ashes
so that after
you'd gone I c
ould hold onto
something
But you stayed
unwavering th
rough every fa
lse goodbye
Unsubsiding,
pining, f
or now and for
never
[Chorus]
There you were
with your mir
ror
Shining the wo
rld all over m
e
There I was wi
th my butterfl
y net
Trying to catc
h your light
[Bridge]
Oh if only
the umbrella
of the sky
Could wrap us
up and up
That's where I
'd zoom in clo
se, dilated as
your eyes
But til then I
'll keep it br
ief
[Verse 3]
N.C.
Faithful inertia, her bullet doesn't slow
N.C.
It seeks and finds me how far it goes, heaven help me
Take this bag
of wings and d
rown it in the
thames
And wake tomor
row, hollow, h
ardly forgetti
ng
[Chorus]
There you were
There I was wi
th my butterfl
y net
Trying to catc
h your light
