lyrics

First across the threshold and then across the room
In this one of you and one of me life
Are we staring at the pavement or howling at the moon
In this some of you and some of me life?
And you were looking forward just as I was looking grim
In this half of you and half of me life
Show me one more morning and I'll show you one more grin
In this all of you and all of me life

And we try to find the splendour in the ordinary
So hats off if you made it through to February
I try to keep my focus but then my canary
Should've warned me
There was something that was lurking in this mine

I dreamt I tried to raise my voice up but that it was paper thin
And the dread was real and the dread was mine
Somewhere I am walking and the calm is setting in
Like the sun that droops below the skyline
What a winning combination to be righteous and thin-skinned
And heaven knows and Hades knows why
So I cling on like a leap year so the ending can't begin
And work out how to spend all of that saved time

And we try to find the splendour in the ordinary
So hats off if you made it through to February
And a voice that I remember as an adversary
Says
Am I right?
Am I enough?
Am I alive?

First across the threshold and then across the room
In this one of you and one of me life
Are we staring at the pavement or howling at the moon
In this some of you and some of me life?
And you were looking forward just as I was looking grim
In this half of you and half of me life
Show me one more morning and I'll show you one more grin
In this all of you and all of me life
