Shelter

You're burned into my memory
Floating down a neon road
Your head screwed on the wrong way round
Peering down the end of your nose

I put it on a plate for you
Said I would wait for you
I bared my soul for all to see
But you flew straight over my shoulder
You were never looking at me

Though, you will never be my shelter
From wind, from rain, from ice and snow
From all the things that life can throw

I'll be your sanctuary
When you're not there for me
I'll be your sanctuary
'Cause no one else will be

I'll roll my eyes into my head
So the sallow whites will show
I think I'll live in here instead
A dream where I can be in control

I can be alone with you
And share a home with you
How it was always meant to be
Oh, we're growing older
Two raindrops lost to the sea

Though, you will never be my shelter
From wind, from rain, from ice and snow
From all the things that life can throw

I'll be your sanctuary
When you're not there for me
I'll be your sanctuary
'Cause no one else will be
(I'll be your sanctuary)

I'll be your sanctuary
When you're not there for me
I'll be your sanctuary
'Cause no one else will be
(Mmm, mmm)
