[Intro]
One two three four
[Verse 1]
Words that keep on falling
From a mountain to my heart
Taking them from granted
A distant whisper growing in the dark
[Chorus]
She told me that one day
She would have to go away
But when I saw her leaving
I didn't think she meant today
[Verse 2]
Sisters and their wishes
Brothers drinking in the Sunday light
Broken chains, paper planes
And everything that's ever taken flight
[Chorus]
She told me that one day
She would have to go away
But when I saw her leaving
I didn't think she meant today
[Bridge]
An old man standing at an open door
Shipwrecked on a sea of hope
A million miles to the nearest shore
And a million more to go
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
The night it comes crawling
And the waves dig in the beach
Her voice, it seems so close now
But her words are out of reach
[Chorus]
She told me that one day
She would have to go away
But when I saw her leaving
I didn't think she meant today
[Outro]
No I didn't think she meant today
