lyrics

It was a day in late summer
And the rain was falling hard
You waved through the glass at me
And drove off in your car
"It’ll be all right," you said,
"This is meant to be.
Just stay cool and keep your head
And you’ll come home to me.
You’ll come home to me."

But that was half a life ago
It feels like yesterday
The same old destinations
Coming round the same old way
It was half a life ago
And I don’t think you know
How you want to get to
Where you want to go

It’s now a day in late winter
And the snow is coming down
The memories of all those months
Have gone cold on the ground

"It’ll be all right," you said.
I wonder if it’s true
Can your heart show your head
What you need to do?

Well that was half a life ago
And we’re still miles apart
From the day we swore to stay
True to each other’s hearts
Tell me where we’re going
Instead of where we’ve been
Maybe I’ll believe you
When "why"
Becomes "when"
