Lyrics
I close my eyes, my mind will take me places
Across blue skies and seas of faces
I'll know my destination when I see it
I hope you're there, but I can't guarantee it
When I crossed your border
You called me to order
You broke my heart
But that was just the start
The message was clear
I was nowhere near
And the tide was out
Love couldn't thrive in drought
An emotional theft is now all that is left
Of that summer, what a bummer
The cool sea breeze, the campfires by the beach
And those kisses, those near misses!
A man on a mission
Above all suspicion
I played all my cards
You were the Queen of Hearts
And yet you'd just use me
Exploit and abuse me
And I was never cool
I was your April fool
And as much as I've grown, my mind's still blown
By your smile, that skilful guile
How I still miss this unspeakable bliss
Of those kisses, those near misses
Sometimes I just look back
With no regrets in my heart
I learnt from history
Now the night is still young
So, let's go out with a bang
Cos life's a mystery
This is a quest for long lost memories
For stolen hopes and missing links
Forgotten dreams and hidden scars
Locked in our minds and etched upon our hearts
A quest for restless days when nothing mattered
For lonely nights when our poor hearts were shattered
A quest for sounds and scents and secret treasures
For those desires that never turned to pleasures
I close my eyes, my mind will take me places
Across blue skies and seas of faces
I'll know my destination when I see it
I hope you're there, but I can't guarantee it
I'll know my destination when I see it
I hope you're there, but I can't guarantee it
