Mudmowth - Daydream Lyrics

I saw an outline of you behind a drop of rain
Lost on a street, hopping on the wrong train
It made me stop for a moment
And realise it's been a while since we've last spoken
As you stepped off with no looking back
I wondered if it was you hid beneath that flat cap
And I pinched a piece of skin
To see if this was real and the pain would kick on in
But all I felt was a memory of you
A Welsh seaside one winter afternoon
Back when life felt right
A bag of bad jokes and walking stick by your side
I keep a photo of that moment
Locked inside my skin like time got frozen
As you looked towards the sea
The waves in your eyes said that you would never leave
My mind flicks through the same scene
How could a day with you become a daydream
Is this a trick or untrue?
Are you alive out there or am I just missing you?
My mind flicks through the same scene
How could these days with you become a daydream
Is this a trick or untrue?
Are you alive out there or am I just missing you?
And if it was you walking towards that track
You would have felt my eyes turned around and walked back
Cos Grandad it's been some years
Since we spoke about the Swans and what's been happening down here
There's been a few new rivers on this road
I've got myself a wife and a daughter's hand to hold
Wish you could see her face
She looks at everything
Like the greatest thing ever made
And that thought hit my mind
As I looked through the rain wishing I could rewind
And relive one more laugh
One terrible impression
One story from your past
Maybe one hot brew
Looking out at the estate that still holds signs of you
I still see your shadow on the driveway
Fixing up a car until time made it drive away
My mind flicks through the same scene
How could a day with you become a daydream
Is this a trick or untrue?
Are you alive out there or am I just missing you?
My mind flicks through the same scene
How could these days with you become a daydream
Is this a trick or untrue?
Are you alive out there or am I just missing you?
And if it was you walking towards that track
I know you would have felt my eyes and turned back
Cos Grandad it's been some years
Since we spoke about the world and what's been happening down here
If it was you walking towards that track
I know you would have stopped turned around and walked back
Cos there's so much to say
I guess I'll save it all for next time I see you on that train.
My mind flicks through the same scene
How could a day with you become a daydream
Is this a trick or untrue?
Are you alive out there or am I just missing you?
My mind flicks through the same scene
How could these days with you become a daydream
Is this a trick or untrue?
Are you alive out there or am I just missing you?
