We talked on the phone it's as it's always been
Say you wanna see me on my birthday and I'm teary again
You wanna take a road trip in an electric van
When you're not studying, will I be far away then?
Oh, it sounds like fun oh it sounds like fun
Pity it came undone because it sounds like fun
I say I'm fragile today, can't cope with social events
Seem to get so upset about the littlest things
So overcome by it all, lose sense of space and time
I know I didn't reply, but you were on my mind
Oh, what a shame it all didn't go to plan
We had wild dreams of a future
And we thought and we prayed
To anyone that might hear
And if we crossed our fingers it might just appear
And we'd wake up one bright day and see
We'd had our wishes granted
More than three
How didn't we see
We couldn't withstand gravity
We all believed in a dream where she was alive and well
No one told us she was falling down then one day she fell
Couldn't tell nobody in this whole damn world
Now we're drunk on the floor watching it all unfurl
Oh, what a shame it all didn't go to plan
We had wild dreams of a future
And we thought and we prayed
To anyone that might hear
And if we crossed our fingers it might just appear
And we'd wake up one bright day and see
We'd had our wishes granted
More than three
How didn't we see
We couldn't withstand gravity
Like a nightmare they said, it'd be over at the end of the night
It was just a matter of time
And if we said it enough, we could join all the stars in a line
With enough hope it'd all be alright
Oh, what a shame it all didn't go to plan
We had wild dreams of a future
And we thought and we prayed
To anyone that might hear
And if we crossed our fingers it might just appear
And we'd wake up one bright day and see
We'd had our wishes granted
More than three
How didn't we see
We couldn't withstand gravity
