[Verse 1]
I press repeat, rewinding the last line
Spending all my time wrapped up in you
Days drift by, in visions and half-rhymes
Confusion and lifelines till I feel brand new

[Pre-Chorus]
Sitting in my bedroom with my headphones
Brother on the settee with the TV on
Mother will be tired when she gets home
Close my eyes, and lean on you

[Chorus 1]
Sing me songs of wisdom, and every word is a lullaby
Hold me close and listen, and turn this grey into bright sunshine
When I was that little girl, lost in the world, you painted my sky
So sing me songs of wisdom, and tell me it's gonna be alright, alright

[Verse 2]
Falls forward, a day and a lifetime
I'm too busy to make time for looking back
And days fly by in the blur of the headlights
A whirlwind in my mind and I'm losing track

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But when the video is singing out that old song
I am right back in my bedroom with my headphones on
And everyone reminds me where I come from
Close my eyes, and lean on you
