lyrics

If it takes all night, I will write this song that asks you why it is
Always you that stays within striking distance of dreams
You’re so vivid, that I would give it, everything if it were only real
And I feel, like selling up my things I’ll buy a ticket and a ring

So don’t ask me if I’m missing you
Don’t ask me if I’m lonely too
Cause if you go give me half a reason to
I’ll pack my bags for Sicily and you

So you’ve seen this world
Followed the sun and bought the rays back here for everyone
And I’ve moved, but not so far,
But my head’s been everywhere you are
Cause you’re always in it, and I’m beginning
To think there is some place that I would rather be
(so I could have you next to me)
And there’s nothing I could bring but I’ll have a ticket and a ring

When Santorini looks that way
I hope that all the colours match your face
So that when you make it back this way
You could talk about a sunrise
That I could see in your eyes once again
