Lyrics:
When you say things I can’t express
When thought does a runner, and I get distressed
My love, let’s take the stage tonight
There’s fear in the heart that the taking dispels
My heart longs to bring you news of something else
Beyond the mirror, it’s a chaos: we’ve got to brace ourselves,
but outside, we’ll see a half-moon smile
It seems by love my life is rectified
It seems by love my life does right
Answering you
Just like we were meeting again
On the curb with our heads spent
On the stairs of a basement
At a crossroads in Europe
In a lake with your hair up
Always the first time
One deepening encounter
We don’t have to yawn, withdraw when it gets dark
Leave the rubbish, leave the dishes and let the sink block
The night’s young, but still it’ll take too long
We don’t have to trudge on, left, right-
You know I used to be hostile, and I felt so alone
But you shook me, you said: “Don’t be foolish!
You can’t hide- no don’t you moan- just
stay at my side! Just look at that sky tonight!”
The moon made wishbone trails on the water
You said: “Do you have the time?”, and time multiplied
We said: “Let’s stay awhile- it feels right”,
but pulling at the breach, with wild wind hair
were our futures impressing on the world,
impressing on the world,
impressing on the world,
impressing on the world-
If we could see it take
The shape of our image
The shape of our image

Already my album of 2024 - sublime

This song has such a big Swoon-era Prefab Sprout vibe. Will no doubt be on repeat in my ears for the next year! Brilliant

Kiran's style, sensitivity and delivery are unique. I also love how low key he's been. Beautiful music!
