often lately

Dermot Kennedy

I m endlessly forgiving
Of the way I live my life
I m late to come to wisdom and I m late to see the light
I asked you for your favourite song
You played it to me twice
I knew the words by the time you dropped me home
Now those memories are distant,
But those memories are nice
Sustained me for a minute, but I m running out of time
I m worried about the losses
And the love I ve left behind
I know I m gone, but don t know where I m going

I could have sworn I heard it this morning
Like your voice was a part of that wind
I felt important when I was yours and
I want it back more than I can admit, no

But I think about you often, lately
I have this dream about returning safely
Will you be there when I walk down that road?
Will you be there?
Cause I m so scared that you won t

Eventually I ll come to see that nothing stays unsaid
Because it festers in my spirit
Till I m restless in my bed
The dark is kept in business
While the joy is left for dead
I guess the proof for that
Is now you re not around
Florence for a minute brought me closer to a God
Closer to the roots of this
And why we try so hard
Why we cry until our vision s blurry
Just like the facade
How it lifts you up until it breaks you down

I could have sworn I heard it this morning
Like your voice was a part of that wind
I felt important when I was yours and
I want it back more than I can admit, no

But I think about you often, lately
I have this dream about returning safely
Will you be there when I walk down that road?
Will you be there?
Cause I m so scared that you won t

Feel the same as when I left you, ancient times
Had a dream about returning, is that just my pride?
Will you be there when I walk down that road?
Will you be there?
Cause I m so scared that you won t
