london from heartbreak era by Holly Nicholson

wake up, tired eyes
i look at you, i cant help but smile
we drive to the station,
a city escape, just me and you
the train flies by

shared headphones, your arm touches mine
billy joel, pulling into euston on time
your hand takes mine, you never let go

i remember that time being so beautiful
the city was magical

your arms around me
london, victoria street
my backless dress & your black shirt

i’ll never have that with you again
under christmas lights
under the night sky
just you and i

kings cross, we run for the tube
we walk the streets, i can feel you looking at me
swapped bags, mines too heavy
drinking coffee from bond street

2am, we arrive at the hotel
after dressing up for dinner and a show
your hands in my hair, the world is asleep
everywhere except for you & me

friday morning, your head on my shoulder
the journey’s ending but i want to stay here for longer

your arms around me
london, victoria street
my backless dress & your black shirt
i'm never going to have that with you again
laughing with my love and my best friend
london, the west end

that damn city screams your name,
i’ll never look at it the same
forever stained by the mere memory of you
god i really loved you

wake up, tired eyes
i look for you, you’re not there and i cry
i drive to work, pretending it doesn’t still hurt
to see abbey road, i wish you had never let go
