In the days I thought that we were gone,
My mind packing up the case
With the sentiments that i'd cling on to
In the hope we'd be okay
Is it sensible to carry on?
If we carry on this way?
While i'm holding out for tender moments
While the ceiling spells the pain.
Are we running out of romance?
Are we martyrs to the cause?
Is the road we hope for
Under snowfall
Fading out the love.
From the other side of this cold bed
I can feel your minds embrace
But your body holds me disregarded
Sternly turned the other way
Reaching out i wish that fingertips could touch your distant skin
So far away
Now i wonder how you must be feeling
As the ceiling spells the pain.
Are we running out of romance?
Are we martyrs to the cause?
Oh these meagre feet feel like miles to me,
Are they miles to you at all?
I'm laying out my hopes to dry
and i know my soul is showing
There must be more to it than this farewell
By attrition, we've been leading up to
Face a moment in this shade
But we get there and it all boils down to
A better light of day.
We're not running out of romance
We're no martyrs to the cause
It's all to suss, that the root of us is
Bringing back the love
I love you twice as much as always
When all's said and done
I love you twice as much as yesterday.
The first time i heard 'Shoeboxes' by David, i felt desperately touched. Such an expressionful, soulful honest songwriter who deserves more recognition than he gets. Joseph Lofthouse
