Lonely Second Lyrics by Luke Ritchie

The Water’s Edge

0

It takes a lonely second
But in a moment it is done
Leave her crying by the bus stop
Then just make your way back
And as you’re almost faithless
As you’re almost home
See those fears rise up again
Same old fears rise up again
Don’t throw your love away
It’s not your fault
There are things you believe in
That you can’t let go
Because it’s there that they catch you
It’s there that you fail
And I can’t bear to lose you
To the hours, days and weeks
I count the times you’ve almost been here
I count the times you almost left
I wonder when you found your future
Turned from a promise to a threat
But if you only knew, boy, just how free you are
To turn from ash and rise again
To turn from ash and rise again
Funny, look who’s talking
I watch the weeks slip past like days
But I won’t wait to be saved, no –
The light you find, you find within
The world is what you make of it
The world is what you make of it
The world is what you make of it
Don’t throw your love away
It’s not your fault
You can’t make her happy
You’ve just got to let go
Cos if you only knew, boy, how free you are
To turn from ash and rise again
Turn from ash and rise again
