Hidden Corners of the Street

I've opened the door just to find
You with a cup of coffee
I was washing my clothes in a big empty house
And you up the stairs waiting

I chucked a warm blanket on top of your head
Like I've known you forever
And I kept a safe space for you here in my heart
And blankets I'll use as a cover

You're hanging down memory lane
Is it too much to ask if you stayed
Time doesn't mean anything anymore
You're still becoming real

I've met you among old scarecrows and fields
On the ring that spins 'round the earth
Summer was fading with all it could give
And all of what autumn was worth

I know all the rules and you know all the tricks
And I'm faking myself so calm
I'm panicking Cos nobody taught me how
To time this huge atomic bomb

You're hanging down memory lane
A First kiss never felt this way
Time doesn't mean anything anymore
You're still becoming real

There's so much clothing that needs to be washed
But I rather take you for a spin
I don't even have the keys to this house
So if we go out we can't come back in

I've turned off my phone for days
And I wrote all that I had to say
And then burning the pages in the fire of the stage
Trying to believe you're real
I'm trying to believe you're real
I'm trying to believe you're real
I'm trying to believe you're real
