Lyrics

I can't give you everything you want
But I could give you what you thought you needed.
A map to keep beneath your seat, you've been to me in time I'll get you there
I fold it up so we don't find our way back soon, nobody knows we are here

We can park the van and walk to town
Find cheapest bottle of wine that we could find
And talk about the road behind how getting lost is not a waste of time

The water moor will take us home in the moment we will sing as the forest sleeps

Well it's all for the sake of arriving with you
Well it's all .. for the sake of arriving with you

I will make the table into a bed
The candle is burning down its time to rest
I can't take back things already gone, but I could give you promises for keeps

And I would only take them back if they become your own and you give 'em to me

And it's all for the sake of arriving with you.
Well it's all for the sake of arriving with you.

We could make this into anything
We could make this into more than words we speak
This could make us into anything
It could make us grow and become what we'll be

Mmmmmm...
How and we will know
It's just like it feels
