lyrics

I spot you in the crowd and my heart just stopped, I swear it’s true
Then I held my breath and took a step closer to you
Standing on the hill in the autumn afternoon sunshine
Someone told me once : “The sweetest victory is the best”

I need a photograph
I want to make this last
I want to stay here with you until it’s dark, dark, dark

Your eyes have a way of talking
And it feels like they’re trying to say one thing
Like this could be something

I brace myself for bad news but it’s not coming soon
There is a beauty in the air this afternoon
There is a battle going on, but it’s ok I know which side we’re on
And together we could be the last ones standing

I need a photograph
I want to make this last
I want to stay here with you until it’s dark, dark, dark

Your eyes have a way of talking
And it feels like they’re trying to say one thing
Like this could be something

This could be something
This could be something
This could be something
This could be something
