lyrics

There's a hand that pulls me through
The plants upon my windowsill
It drags me back to earth
Amongst the textures that I never seem to feel

It catches me off guard
Just as I'm prepared to listen
It speaks of colour and tone
Now I know what I've been missing

Someone tell me why I never saw any of this before

The grass is glowing an illuminos green
The world passes by as I'm sitting here
The fox climbing over the rocks
It's warm and I'm staying here

It catches me off guard
Just as I'm prepared to listen
It speaks of colour and tone
Now I know what I've been missing

Someone tell me why I never saw any of this before
Someone tell me why I never saw any of this before

Where do I begin?
I don't know a thing about this mess that I'm living in
Where do I begin?
I don't know a thing about this mess that I'm living in

When I need rescuing let me in
Show me my dullness take it all, take it all from me
When the tune is clear it rings in my ear
Can you hear me sing, go on then

It catches me off guard
Just as I'm prepared to listen
It speaks of colour and tone
Now I know what I've been missing

Someone tell me why I never saw any of this before
Someone tell me why I never saw any of this before
