lyrics

I saw a couple at the station
They were trying to say goodbye
They reminded me of my family
In the mornings at Christmas time

But no matter how hard they pressed themselves together
They still remained separate and untethered
She was asking is this the closest we can get
Do you know what I mean
Have you ever known what I meant

He said baby you know white light it's always hidden
And everyone's just like a prism
Even if it's never said out loud
You know it's true

And I was sitting across from a man on the train
As I listened to a song I felt alone
Someone was singing to me about the futility
Of a synonym inside a snowglobe

And he looked up at me over his glasses
I'd never been so sure of kindness
He said do you wanna know what I found out
Even though it's always a translation
We're reading from the exact same page
And it's a crazy thought but you know it's true

Mmmmm

So I make my way down my street
I swear it was a path I used to dread
And now all the people I used to try and pass by unseen
Now they kiss me on my forehead

And the cornershop's front sign is dying
So for one last night it is wise and winking
With a glorious casino smile
I walked on through its yawning doors
And threw my thesaurus on the floor
Saying wherever we are going I'm coming along
And I ran out into the snowflakes laughing
Both to myself and everyone
