Too Many Words (feat. Liam Budge)

Caught in the undertow Treading water
It gets harder over time
Stay afloat inside a flooded home
Where they saturated your mind
Spinning a punctured tyre
Kept at bay by
A fake lie remedy
You were sung out by a drunken choir
You were played by a broken machine

When we were young
I wrote you a song
With way too many words
And way too little hope and now
I want to come home and make it better

Bracing against the force
Of strong winds
As you begin to unfold
And yet you carry on and on
And you somehow keep your ship afloat
Stoic and brave you fought
For a chance to
See it all through to the end
You're a miracle of strength and light
You're a hero, don't you know my friend?

When we were young
I wrote you a song
With way too many words
And way too little hope
And now I want to come home and make it better
I wish I could compose The music you deserve
But on and on it goes I write too many words

When we were young
I wrote you a song
With way too many words
And way too little hope
And now I want to come home and make it better

I wish I could compose The music you deserve
But on and on it goes I write too many words
My dear, I swear I'll learn
That words are not what's needed
But still it seems absurd
I cannot believe it
But one more thing I'll say
For if these words aren't spoken I think they'd go to waste
I know you can't be broken
These words won't go to waste I know you can't be broken
