lyrics

what would you say if i said you were the start of the day, if i said you were the opposite of grey that’s sometimes there at the start of the day? what would you do if i said the words you wanted me to, if i told you i was thinking of you when the sun came up and the sky was blue? and if i never met you, these words would not be here. i hope that just like you they’ll help to make a dull day clear. and now there’s music where there wasn’t for so long. that makes you the girl that makes the song. walking around, ice cream dripping onto the ground i got something i could never have found if i tried to discover what is deep and profound. what would you say if i said you were the start of the day, if i said my heart was melting away in your hands like a paddle-pop? and if i never met you, these words would not be here. i hope that just like you they’ll help to make a dull day clear. and now there’s music where there wasn’t for so long. that makes you the girl that makes the song.
