Mountaineer

I swear it won't take too long
Switching everything that you can
I will not keep you long
Just leaving every phone on the latch
Fill out the form
Just staring, staring at the door
To the reeds, to the moment you cared
To the reeds, to the moment you cared

Just leaving every phone on the latch
You're leaving every phone on the latch

You didn't see me go
I cut the ropes like a mountaineer
'Cause the thing is I don't
Want a 40 minute flashback to a tender year
I didn't say it enough
But I felt I could find you any day
Hanging halfway out the fire-door of your favourite place

Clear out the attic room
I'm fixing everything that I can
I've not seen your hair this long
Since Cornwall, when you thought you were mad
I saw you talk to the radio, with it turned down low
To the waves, to the moment you cared
To the waves, to the moment you-

You didn't see me go
I cut the ropes like a mountaineer
'Cause the thing is I don't
Want a 40 minute flashback to a tender year
I didn't say it enough
But I felt I could find you any day
Hanging halfway out the fire-door of your favourite place
