Submarines

Boo Hewerdine

I have not seen you in a while
Your eyes are distant other scenes
You use a language I don't know
Different lives
Submarines

The darkest thoughts that come to you
As shadow figures in your dreams
Even when the sun is high
They're always there
Submarines

I knew you when the future shone
And you are full of wild eyed schemes

Nothing seems that certain now
Submarines

Imagine God came down to us
To explain what this all means
Then left it in the taxi cab
We'd never know

I knew you when the future shone
And you are full of wild eyed schemes
That was when the world is young
Before we heard what might have been

Nothing seems that certain now
Submarines
