Paper & Glue Lyrics - Watch The Fireworks - Emma Pollock

Oh, look at the view 

Look at the people running, They've so much to do 

Better than you 

Better than take what's coming, Nothing's ever new 

And everything that looks so good from here 

Living out a dream I've had for a year 

Living out a dream I've had 

Oh, the avenue 

They're taking the trees down, And they're asking me and you 

What can we do? 

We can stand in a circle, Paying tribute with paper and glue 

And everything that looks so good from here 

Living out a dream I've had for a year 

Living out a dream I've had 

I was sure I'd move to heaven, But the feeling didn't last 

We've never been forgiven, For the things done in the past 

I often stand and stare at you, Protected by the glass 

But I have nothing more to say to you, So please don't ever ask 

Oh, hidden from view 

The place that we keep from, How I miss those elegant lines 

And the sun on the blinds 

They beckon me down here, From what I know now are sunnier climbs 

And everything that looks so good from here 

Living out a dream I've had for a year 

Living out a dream I've had 

I was sure I'd move to heaven, But the feeling didn't last 

We've never been forgiven, For the things done in the past 

I often stand and stare at you, Protected by the glass 

But I have nothing more to say to you, So please don't ever ask 

I never knew that I had been here before 

They're running through houses, And breaking down doors 

No matter where you go, They'll follow you, follow you, follow you 

I was sure I'd move to heaven, But the feeling didn't last 

We've never been forgiven, For the things done in the past 

I often stand and stare at you, Protected by the glass 

But I have nothing more to say to you, So please don't ever ask
