Swallow
Swallow
Woke up on a raft in Amsterdam,
Best of the craft on a canal.
Mesmerized by the enchanting cities,
Got to cross many,
Before I reach Germany.
I've been a swallow,
Since I last saw your shadow.
It's been so hollow.
Your words did cut me a shallow.
How could you be so callow? Girl,
How could you be so callow?
Remember the place you once
Called a paradise?
I call it a latitude now,
If daylight makes me meet people like you,
I'd want to make friends with the owls and bats.
And after all this now,
Scrolling through my voicemails,
I open the one inviting for the reunion.
Took my breath off for a second,
Took me back for a second.
The last day at school,
When people were making memories,
I could see our story erasing,
Those corridors that wrote stories,
Were caving in.
I've migrated miles in days,
It's been for a hundredth time now
That I've taken a diversion in
Sight of your hallucination.
I've got lured in many times,
Never felt thirsty any time.
Girl, you know it when I call myself a swallow.
I'd never make it alive without my fellow swallows.
This journey has been so incredible,
Your memories have been so indelible.
Keep the wait for a while, I'll see ya'
Once I finish off with Australia.
