Well I didn't know I was missing you
Just sitting around
Years on my heels
Rolled back, eighteen
And I'd never seen what you did to me
When you came round
Pouring out of a glass
All nervous through the cracks
But I knew then
I'd missed you for years
Before I'd ever even seen you
And there you came
A tropical storm to a candlelit boy
A thousand ships and a horse at Troy
I wanted more than I could ever let by
So can I ask you
Is this burden in your chest too
Is this burden in your chest too
If I knew then how close I was to losing you
I never asked if I knew
Am I losing you
Am I losing me
Just slip away
You're my parade
You're my parade
Early mornings seal my fate
Creeping air and sun-kissed skin
With curtains rolling in
But I'm not there
So can I ask you
Is this burden in your chest too
Can I ask you
Is this burden in your chest too
