Lyrics
On Peak Hill
[Verse 1]
The rain fell hard on the roofs that day
You telephoned from far away
I see the ocean from my room
All I could say was, "Are you coming home soon?"
[Verse 2]
The static whispered in my ear
But in a moment your voice was clear
"I need some time," you said to me
That's when I knew you were going to make me lonely
[Chorus]
You were gonna make me wish for the time right before I was born
When every living breath was another new dawn
Or like the time I was 5 at the top of Peak Hill
And the wind almost took me away
You're gonna make me wish for a time right before I was born
When every living breath was another new dawn
Or like the time I was 5 at the top of Peak Hill
And the wind almost took me away
[Verse 3]
I walk a while before I sleep
Count the secrets that I keep
A hope for more
I know for sure
I'll fall apart before I weep
I'll disconnect the telephone
'Cause I can choose to be alone
I'll get more done
I'll have some fun
Pretend you're not the only one
Da da da da da da da
Yeah
[Chorus]
And I'm never gonna wish for a time right before I was born
When every living breath was another new dawn
Or like the time I was 5 at the top of Peak Hill
And the wind almost took me away
You're gonna make me wish for a time right before I was born
When every living breath was another new dawn
Or like the time I was 5 at the top of Peak Hill
And the wind almost took me away
Hey-yeah
The wind almost took me away
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da da
Da da da da
Da da da da
