I've Seen It

[00:15.11] I've seen it last for thirty years

[00:18.04] Seen it bloom and end in tears

[00:20.70] I've seen it after school and in the park

[00:25.77] Sat right across me on the tube

[00:28.69] Seen it miss a stop or two

[00:31.35] Seen it trying not to fall apart

[00:36.40] I've heard it laced in every song

[00:39.05] And still the words all come out wrong

[00:41.98] It doesn't always answer when you call

[00:46.76] Brings out the worst, brings out the best

[00:49.44] I understand it less and less

[00:52.10] I guess I'm not supposed to know it all

[00:56.11] I've seen it dance with friends around the table

[01:01.43] In Eleanor, Rosie and Louise

[01:06.48] And it makes me cry to think that I am able

[01:12.07] To give it back the way it gives to me

[01:18.71] I've seen it grow old and forget

[01:21.10] Until it's just a silhouette

[01:23.76] 'Til someone picks it up and sends it on

[01:29.07] I've seen the films, I've read the books

[01:31.72] My mum and dad, they got me hooked

[01:34.11] The fairy tale, the search goes on and on

[01:39.43] The more you look, the more you find

[01:42.35] It's all around you all the time

[01:44.74] Catches your eye, you blink and then it's gone

[01:50.05] Brings out the worst, brings out the best

[01:52.71] I know it's somewhere in my chest

[01:55.63] I guess it's been inside me all along
