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
