lyrics

I style myself a rambler,
And I style myself a thief
I'll sneak in through you window when you are asleep,
And whisper "I will always love you" before I take your dreams.

And I'll carry them forever in the pocket o'er my heart,
And they'll protect like a bible as I pick them apart
And find that I was not the one for you,
I was just a start.

So when I'm gone
I know that you will carry on.
And I will sneak in at night sometimes
And marvel at what you've become.

I tremble when you kiss me, I'm broken when you go
I'll carry you with me when I'm out on the road
But I cannot be who you want me to be,
I do not have it in my bones.

I grow flowers at my window that are yellow like the sun,
You grew so much in my arms and now that you are gone
I'm resting and watching what I've helped to build,
And all the good that has come.

So when I'm gone
I know that you will carry on.
And I will sneak in at night sometimes
And marvel at what you've become.

I don't know what happens when human hearts collide
But I hope to know all the potential that you've got bottled up inside
And I know that you will colour the world with your light
And make it a better place and leave it shining bright.

So I style myself a rambler,
And I style myself a thief
I'll sneak in through you window when you are asleep,
And whisper "I will always love you" before I take your dreams.
