[Verse 1]

Earth went sil

ent

London fell as

leep
    
She dreamed of

 winter
      
Where you appe

ared to me
             
Perfect timing

        
 as new petals

 in November
  
A tender creat

ure

A fever

Disarming, flu

orescent

[Chorus]
          
There you were
          
With your mirr

or
           
Shining the wo

rld all over m

e
        
There I was
        
With my butter

fly net
             
Trying to catc

       
h your light

[Verse 2]
  
I collected
       
Stupid ashes

So that after 

you'd gone
        
I could hold o

nto something
        
But you stayed

 unwavering
        
Through every 

false goodbye

Unsubsiding

Pining
            
For now and fo

r never

[Chorus]
          
There you were
          
With your mirr

or
           
Shining the wo

rld all over m

e
        
There I was
        
With my butter

fly net
             
Trying to catc

       
h your light

[Bridge]

Oh, if only
         
The umbrella o

f the sky
      
Could wrap us 

up and up
              
That's where I

   
'd zoom in clo

se
             
Dilated as you

  
r eyes
             
Until then, I'

           
ll keep it bri

ef

[Verse 3]

Faithful inert

ia
    
Her bullet doe

sn't slow
   
It seeks and f

inds me
    
How far it goe

s
       
Heaven help me

Take this bag of wings
    
And drown it i

n the Thames
    
And wake tomor

row

Hollow
       
Hardly forgett

ing

[Chorus]
             
There you were

          
        
There I was
        
With my butter

fly net
             
Trying to catc

       
h your light
