Brisbane

Breath it out
Close your eyes
It’s finally taking over
Silence falls
In the room
I wanna keep this moment
Like a bottle of perfume
‘Cause I’m terrified
That those wrinkles by your eyes
Will become blurry lines
In a couple of years from now
When I’m thinking of your face
And suddenly it fades from me
15 good years
We couldn’t be much closer
But if you’re gone
And I’m here
I’m not just somebody’s daughter, now
Your heart is slowing down
Like a train pulling in to the station
I’m about as helpless as
Those empty bottles of medication
And there’ll come a time
When I’m dressed in white
And a space by my side
Should’ve been filled by you
But I’ll be thinking of your face
And hoping that you’re thinking of me, too
15 good years
We couldn’t be much closer
But if you’re gone
And I’m here
I’m not just somebody’s daughter, now
You gave me life
Guess I thought you’d be a mother
Those Brisbane lights
They’re shining for you
Your lungs are black
Your body’s fading grey
But everything is blinding me, now
15 good years
We couldn’t be much closer
But if you’re gone, and I’m here
I’m not just somebody’s daughter
15 good years
Those Brisbane lights
They’re shining for you
But if you’re gone, and I’m here
I’m not just somebody’s daughter, now
