new song lyrics

Perhaps another time

 

Pictures in a magazine of places you have never seen

you cut them out and put them on the wall

in a faded photograph a perfect moment makes you laugh

but memories can make you feel so small

 

There'll be sunlight on the snow in places we will never go

on mountains we will never ever climb

there will be a price to pay

for every single wasted day you chose to say: perhaps another time

 

hostage of my own world I dream of oysters and their pearls

I always pick the wrong one in the end

with all the roads for us to take

I always find the one that's fake

and build my perfect castles on the sand

 

And we will never catch that train

somewhere in Scotland in the rain

grab the sun and flip it like a dime

there will be a price to pay

for every single wasted day when we said: perhaps another time

 

so all those days will run together

perfect shade of black & white

me, I thought I'd live forever

and fill my life with light

 

there'll be sunlight on the snow

in places I will never go

on mountains I will never ever climb

there will be a price to pay

for every single wasted day I said to you: perhaps another time

 

Cluttered floors inside my room

I wake up and it's half past noon

inside this dungeon, telephone is king

maybe I should catch a plane before they tell me I'm insane

join a circus, maybe learn to sing

 

And maybe we will catch that train

somewhere in Scotland, in the rain

grab the sun and flip it like a dime

never knowing what we'll find

we'll ride the wind and glance behind

but never say: perhaps another time.

 

Perhaps another time

Perhaps another time

perhaps another time.
