Amelia 
 You search for love But will you fall for all human kind Before yourself Amelia Always though you deserved more than them How could I know I’ve been wandering alone for ages 
Can we talk? 
I sense a little bit a fear in you If only you could see yourself Through my eyes

My mother never learned how to swim I wonder If I’ve ever learned 
She said « Pressure can surely drown someone, I can tell pretty soon you’ll be fifty and tired as hell » I’m missing you Missing us 
Missing you 
Miss feeling home. Once you told me you’re afraid to die I couldn’t leave a single day without you. I’m missing you Missing us 
Missing you 
Miss feeling home.

I have just heard That you’re alone no more 
I’m happy for you
 You’re everything I know, so far And I look at you smoking a cigarette down I can feel your joy I don’t know how to say this But you look so holy under the water Tell me how long will I pay for my bad choice I have just heard
 That you’re alone no more 
I’m happy for you
 You’re everything I know, so far

I know a place where the wind blows Enough to clear the weight off my shoulders American dreams can hurt so bad I’m staying here ’til I get better I heard that you were passing by We could light up a fire
 Spend a day together And grab some beers I came for you You know that I came for you 
I’m glad to see you On your face wrinkles have made their way We don’t play like we used to play
 And now nostalgia has it on me So many years
 And here we are 
Yeah here we are
6.
As I take a breath of you and hold it down I feel your hands crawling on my skin A home run 
Is what I just hit Can it last for a thousand years Giving up on us, giving up on you, never Don’t let me down
 'Cause I’m not giving up on you

 Cool down It is that day 
I dropped the wine That defined today Tried to run tried to hide 
’Til you kissed me And got me right And I will never be bad and cruel to you
 Oh no 
I won’t be cruel I don’t look back I know we can make it good A home run 
Is what I just hit 
Can it last for a thousands years That’s what I’m here for So hang on on me 
 'Cause I’m betting on us baby 
Why don’t you share with me All the things you need 'Cause I’m not giving on up you
