Sometimes it returns like rain that you slept through
Washed off the world, the streets looking brand new
I will not be great, but I'm grateful to get through
The feeling came late, I'm still glad I met you
The memory hurts, but does me no harm
Your hand in my pocket, to keep us both warm
The poor thing in the road, its eyes still glistening
The cold weight of your nose, the earth from a distance
The cold weight of your nose, the earth from a distance
See how it shines
See how it shines
See how it shines
See how it shines
Sometimes I can go, like you choose what you're doing
But it comes to know, when I look back through it
I remember the view
See how it shines
The streetlights in the dark blue
The moment I knew
I'd no choice but to love you
The speed that you move
The screech of the cars
The creature still moving
It's slowed in your arms
The fear in its eyes
Gone out in an instant
Your tear caught the light
Your constrained sight
The the earth from a distance
See how it shines
See how it shines
See how it shines
See how it shines

About me
About you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, it lands hard in me
I'm afraid we'll always be
Trapped within an abstract
From a moment of my life
The weeds up through the concrete
The traffic picking up speed
Oh, my love and terror
Balanced there between those eyes
See how it shines
See how it shines
See how it shines
