Lyrics

Canada

The golden light does nothing but light up the empty street
While your little drip from gratitude is falling at my feet
It?s a time for loose connection but it?s even looser now
Your floating underneath my feet but if I look down I?ll drown

When the day came I took all but my paper plane
Though if I had the chance then I would write it all again
So I?ll say so long for now to Canada
I knew you like I know myself but now I realise you are a stranger

The oldest story in the book is the story of lost love
It?s where the humans tend to sleep when they?re trying to give up
I stepped in to that other place before I closed the book
I came out with a photograph and another place to look

I read you, you?re a bomb in a burning bag
They tell us that we?re talented but likely to go mad
That cold breeze that was covering Canada
It cast my mind back to before when the mirror lied and everything was simple

When the day came I took all but my paper plane
Though if I had the chance then I would write it all again
So I?ll say so long for now to Canada
I knew you like I know myself but now I realise you are a stranger
