The Song

Play me two chords, play me two more
Just something that's worked before
I don't care if it sounds like a hundred songs
I just want something to make me sing along

Make me feel alright, make me feel alive
Make me feel like staying up all night
Make miss my family, wanna call my friends
Make me wanna start writing down poems
Again

I don't know how I heard it
I guess it was not where I thought it would be
It wasn't played on the TV
It wasn't on Radio 3

It wasn't shared, it wasn't free
It wasn't in my dad's box of LPs
It wasn't by my favourite band
It wasn't played for clapping hands

It was the song you sang to me
It was your words that set me free
It was the song you sang to me
Those words meant everything to me

So I play that song on repeat
It makes me wanna dance, wanna shuffle my feet
Makes me wanna get up in the morning
Break into laughter without any warning

Let's go for coffee, make a pot of tea
Sing that lovely song to me
Stare at the sun until we can't see
And sing that lovely song
To me

And I don't know how I heard it
I guess it was not where I thought it would be
It wasn't floating in the sea
It wasn't blowing in the breeze
It wasn't on the mountain top
It wasn't in the sky above
It wasn't space, it wasn't God
It wasn't anything I thought

It was the song you sang to me
It was your words that set me free
It was the song you sang to me
Those words meant everything to me

I don't know how I heard it
I guess it was not where I thought it would be
And I don't know just how I heard it
But I guess that it was not where I thought it would be

When I found it, it kinda sounded like

It was the song you sang to me
It was your words that set me free
It was the song you sang to me
Those words meant everything to me
