Lyrics

One for You

[Pre-Chorus]

Rumours telling me you are mourning

And you haven't slept for several days

You've been turning inside out looking for reasons

And your black sorry eyes made you pale

[Chorus]

And you couldn't catch them

You couldn't be there

You couldn't help them at all

And you couldn't catch them

You couldn't be there

You couldn't help them at all

And it was cold

And it was cold

[Verse 1]

If we say that there is something above the mountains

If we say that there is something we can't see

Promise you will never believe me

Cause I guess I'm just trying to make it easy

[Chorus]

And you couldn't catch them

You couldn't be there

You couldn't help them at all

And you couldn't catch them

You couldn't be there

You couldn't help them at all

And it was cold

And it was cold

[Verse 2]

Everybody was laughing when they found us

One for you and one for me

Then they let us go to hunt us down again

And still you refuse to see

Why everything has to stay ugly

[Pre-Chorus]

Rumours telling me you are mourning

And you haven't slept for several days

You've been turning inside out looking for reasons

And your black sorry eyes made you pale

[Chorus]

And you couldn't catch them

You couldn't be there

You couldn't help them at all

And you couldn't catch them

You couldn't be there

You couldn't help them at all

And it was cold

And it was cold
