Couldn’t Make It Up Lyrics by Ben Howard

Is It?

2023

[Verse 1]
Could not
Could not make it up
Sitting in the garden
Listening to the radio
Cinder forming into great clouds
What's it to me anyhow?
Wish I knew
How to tell you the mess I'm in
Love is that the final sound?
Strangeness passing deep inside me
[Chorus]
What's with the face
With the half mast frown?
If I give up
Do I give up now?
What's with the face
With the half mast frown?
If I give up
Do I give up now?
[Verse 2]
Goodnight
Goodnight getting out alive
What's it to me anyhow?
Colours shifting like a landslide
So many times
I've seen myself in the breaker yard
Love is that the final sound?
Now I see the fear in your eyes loud
[Chorus]
What's with the face
With the half mast frown?
If I give up
Do I give up now?
What's with the face
With the half mast frown?
[Bridge]
Whistling wind
Strange to me
Whistling wind, ah
Whistling wind
Strange to me
Whistling wind
Strange to me
Whistling wind, ah
Whistling wind
Strange to me
[Verse 3]
Could not
Could not make it up
Sitting in the garden
Listening to the radio
Mumbling the words
Like the first time around
Wish I knew
Wish I knew the words to this one
Love is that the final sound?
