I've Seen It

歌詞

I've seen it last for thirty years Seen it bloom then end in tears I've seen it after school and in the park Sat right across me on the tube I've seen it miss a stop or two I've seen it trying not to fall apart I've heard it laced in every song And still the words all come out wrong It doesn't always answer when you call Brings out the worst Brings out the best I understand it less and less I guess I'm not supposed to know it all I've seen it dance with friends around the table In Eleanor, Rosie and Louise And it makes me cry to think that I am able To give it back the way it gives to me I've seen it grow old and forget Until it's just a silhouette 'Til someone picks it up and sends it on I've seen the films I've read the books My mum and dad, they got me hooked The fairytale, the search goes on and on The more you look The more you find It's all around you all the time Catches your eye, you blink and then it's gone Brings out the worst Brings out the best I know it's somewhere in my chest I guess it's been inside me all along
