I can still remember
When your city smelt exciting
I still get a whiff

Of that aroma now and then
Burglary and fireworks
The skies they were alighting

Accidents and toffee drops
And thinking on the train


Oh, he was young, in the frost
No regard for the cost
Of saying his feelings

In the moment they were felt
And if he was calm like you
Locked up inside of your loops

Then he'd know for well
That all he had to say was
All he had to say was goodbye


Summertime made promises
It knew it couldn't keep

The fairytale was climbing up
A mountain far too steep
Colouring the pictures

With your loyal hand
Now I am craving heartbreak
While you're making your demands


Oh, he was young, in the frost
No regard for the cost

Of saying his feelings
In the moment they were felt
And if he was calm like you

Locked up inside of your loops
Then he'd know for well
That all he had to say was

All he had to say was goodbye

If he was calm like you

Locked up inside of your loops
Then he'd know for well
That all he had to say was

All he had to say was goodbye
