I never really think this way
But I guess at Christmas time and New Years
It's hard not to feel let down
Are you feeling the same way?
Maybe you're writing sad songs too?
Ones of longing
But about someone else
Oh, what's it about this time of year?
What will be in ten years time?
Will we be just, 'Oh, do you remember?' -s,
To our separate friends?
Will I be nothing at all?
Will I be one you adore? no.
Will I be just that one song you like?
Oh Time has a lot to answer for
What's your favourite song right now?
What's the last book you read?
Do you even read?
Or do you just watch T.V?
What's a dumb fear that you have?
What's it like to be so well-liked?
And do you still believe in God?
Oh I don't even know who you are
But I know that this is nothing real
In a month I'll be back to my old self
Where I try to remain content
Maybe I should move interstate
Make some friends and make brand new memories
Will they just feel the same?
But then I won't get to see you around

If it's the thoughts that count I'm on a million
But some are dead and some are overgrown
I should take my own advice
Let the water fill me up again
You throw me in the dark
You wake me I'll restart
You grow a garden in my mind
It's a garden at the end of an Australian summer
(But that's alright)
Let these roots grow deeper O my God
Be the start of everything I know
I should lay down my fears
I'm not leaving it this time around
But then you show me where my heart is
You shake me to my core
You grow a garden in my mind
It's a garden at the end of an Australian summer
Is that alright?
A rear view mirror and your eyes
That time that I was hardly alive; I wasn't sleeping
An empty seat that is never yours
Familiarity, it's hard to find
But then you show me what my part is
You break me to my core
You grow a garden in my mind
It's a garden that I know will surely die

A new years eve pretender
Playing sad songs on that old guitar
God I feel I never, never know how to be true in a real way
But do you want me?
Do you still want me?
Dancing to September
Three minutes thirty-five and the world starts turning again
I try not to forget, You
Do you want me?
Do you still want me?
Do you want this?
Do you want?
How, how could you!
Love me as I am with everything I do?
With everything I do
Everything I do
(Psalm 22)
