Manchester (Acoustic Edition)

[Verse 1] I wrote me a book Hid the last page Didn't even look Think I locked it in a cage Wrote a novel 'Cause everybody likes to read a novel [Verse 2] Started with a word And it started pretty well About a rare, fragile bird That I couldn't even spell On the table Think I left it on the table [Pre-Chorus] I found the last page in the sky Cold and sweet, like an apple I found you and now the story has its proper end [Chorus] Oh hello, will you be mine? I haven't felt this alive in a long time All the streets are warm today, hey Read the signs Haven't been this in love in a long time The sun is up, the sun will stay All for the new day [Verse 2] The very last breath Of the hero of our tale Would leave you only to guess Did he truly prevail In the sequel? I guess I'll have to write a sequel [Pre-Chorus] My favorite part's when I die In your arms like a movie Tragic, but now the story has its proper end [Chorus] Oh hello, will you be mine? Haven't felt this alive in a long time All the streets are warm today, hey I read the signs Haven't been this in love in a long time The sun is up, the sun will stay All for the new day [Post-Chorus] Will you be mine? Days are short and I've wrote me my last rhyme All the streets are warm today I read the signs Haven't been this in love in a long time [Outro] It's been a long time It's been a long time
