lyrics

Could have had it all and been so happy ever after
But you had to go and spoil it all with your imagination
You just put it in a letter, put it in a letter
Then you watched me die

Could have been the distance in between the lies and kisses with you Could have been the absence of the magic in the moments with you Gonna make it better, gonna make it better, make it work this time

But there is something that you should know
I’m conquering this fear of flying
But taking off without you is frightening
When the Captain says we’ll soon be on our way

We had nowhere to go when we ran out of inspiration we just
Tried to find the answer and some other explanation but we
Found it in a bottle, found it in a bottle, then we drank it dry

But there is something that you should know
I’m conquering this fear of flying
But taking off without you is frightening
When the Captain says we’ll soon be on our way

Only you could make the sunshine by cracking a smile
Only you could fill a wardrobe with impeccable style
Only you could make me laugh with just three little words
Saying what’s he like, what’s he like
Could have sworn I heard you calling On that early morning flight to LA

We’re taking off and nothing’s gonna stop us
Stop us tonight
Broken wings can learn to fly
We can fly again, if you try again
Just listen to the Captain of your heart
The pilot of your destiny
I was weak you were strong you knew all along

I love this album. I didn't grow up in West Cumbria but I feel closer to its places and its people through these songs. " How can I possibly love you when I feel so alone " is one of the most devastatingly melancholy lines I've ever heard. Thank you for your music Francis Dunnery ewanpaulscarlett
