I awoke in summertime when I stepped out the door
Saw the world in a different light, like never before
Spent my days making alibis over where I had been
Then I soon came to realise you’d done the same thing
We were young, we were dignified. We were wise beyond our years.
When you glanced right across that room, took away all my fears.
Fuelled by want, I want in me, I gambled away
Rolled the dice and fell into bed and suddenly..
It’s 22:22 and I’m lying next to you
It’s 22:22 and I’m lying next to you
I was working overtime trying to find the words
To pen a life-changing two-tone rhyme and finish our your verse
But you were wild like the Blackwater, too much to compress
Soon I knew I was destined to take my place among the rest
It’s 22:22 and I’m trying to forget you
It’s 22:22 and I’m trying to forget you
It’s 22:22 and I’m trying to forget you
It’s 22:22 and I’m trying to forget you
Years go by and they multiply, time ticks away
People come and people go, but the right people stay
All the while I’m discovering, through the old and the new
And each day for a second I find myself thinking ’bout you
It’s 22:22 and I wish I could tell you
It’s 22:22 and I wish I could tell you
It’s 22:22 and I wish I could tell you
It’s 22:22 and I wish I could tell you
Tell you
Tell you
Tell you
