[Verse 1]
I press repeat, rewinding the last line
Spending all my time wrapped up in you
Days drift by, in visions and half rhymes
Confusion and lifelines till I feel brand new
[Pre-Hook]
Sitting in my bedroom with my headphones
Brother on the settee with the TV on
Mother will be tired when she gets home
Close my eyes, and lean on you
[Hook 1]
Sing me songs of wisdom, and every word is a lullaby
Hold me close and listen, and turn this grey into bright sunshine
When I was that little girl, lost in the world, you painted my sky
So sing me songs of wisdom, and tell me it's gonna be alright, alright
[Verse 2]
Falls forward, a day and a lifetime
I'm too busy to make time for looking back
And days fly by in the blur of the headlights
A whirlwind in my mind, and I'm losing track
[Pre-Hook 2]
But when the video is singing out that old song
I am right back in my bedroom with my headphones on
And everyone reminds me where I come from
Close my eyes, and lean on you
[Hook 1]
Sing me songs of wisdom, and every word is a lullaby
Hold me close and listen, andturn this grey into bright sunshine
When I was that little girl, lost in the world, you painted my sky
So sing me songs of wisdom, and tell me it's gonna be alright, alright
[Bridge]
I never knew about this love before
Changing everything and opening doors
I got a little bit, and now I want more
You're setting me free
I'm not waiting for my life to stop
Don't let this crazy world pull me apart
If I've got you, I've got what I need
I've got what I need
[Hook 2]
Sing me songs of wisdom, and every word is a lullaby
Hold me close and listen, and turn this grey into bright sunshine
When I was that little girl, lost in the world, you painted my sky
So sing me songs of wisdom, and tell me it's gonna be alright, alright
It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright
Gonna be alright
