Mine Fields (from Years To Hours) Lyrics - Curtis Catie

I come home, don't know where you are 

You must be working pretty hard 

I feed the cat half a can of food 

and I sit at the table and wait for you 

I don't like doubting that this old love will hold 

But I have my moments when I'm just waiting for it to explode 

(chorus:) 

Oh, no good deals in these mine fields today 

It don't matter how I walk, I could get blown away 

Underneath the soil and the flowers 

I can hear a ticking down from years to hours 

There's not a lot of air in this third-floor flat 

You want to go outside, you want to get some back 

You have said that you cannot breathe 

When you're caught up inside here with no reprieve 

I have been trying not to hold you to your lines 

But I feel you leaning out more all the time 

(chorus) 

"Forever" is a word I leave on the shelf 

I don't want history to repeat itself 

So I take it night by night 

And I try not to hold you too tight 

And I have been dancing up and down the words 

Trying to find out why things are not the way they were. 

(chorus)
