[Verse 1]
Well I sat down next to a photograph
Tried my best almost made her laugh
She was my toughest crowd
There in the way was a mountain up in the clouds

[Verse 2]
Well I can't sleep and I'm not in love
Well I can't speak without messing up
Eyes tell of what's behind
And hers showed the way to a long and a lonely climb

[Pre-Chorus]
But through failure I'll proceed
She'll see how far I've come

[Chorus]
And it's you and me in the sun and sea
I'll offer my arm to yours
It seems to me no mystery
It isn't
So I'll try hard to speak

[Verse 3]
Well I sat down next to a living hell
Tried my best until I struck out
Movement is not mine
I stood in the way pretending that I was the vine
[Pre-Chorus]
But no failure will proceed
From a mouth that drinks its wine

[Chorus]
And it's not me not my sanctity
These aren't my words to you
It's all clear when it's not from here
So clear so
I'll try not to speak
