The Day After Christmas-Kate Miller-Heidke

[00:13.39]I'm thinking of when I first touched you [00:21.15]Your skin was electric [00:26.03]Now I'm far too wise to dwell on such things [00:32.50]And far too sentimental to forget them [00:52.51]I read somewhere memories are stories you write for yourself [01:05.56]To explain who you are, and how you got there [01:12.09]And to blame it on somebody else [01:18.12]Now the gifts are open [01:26.55]The toys are broken [01:33.29]The speeches are all spoken [01:37.45]And the dishes cleared away [01:44.24]The stream keeps flowing [01:51.58]My doubts are growing [01:58.21]Cause I've got no way of knowing if it'll be damned or reach the sea [02:09.09]For you and me [02:22.13]I met a man twice my age [02:28.05]Half joking, he said I should warn you. [02:34.47]You're a fish on the line, [02:37.39]and the lines pulling in, [02:40.11]and there's a frying pan coming to warm you [02:47.07]And while I smiled, it occurred to me [02:54.10]I'm just gristle and blood [02:59.20]And I've spent half my life with the sun in my eyes [03:05.51]Chasing rainbows through the mud [03:12.08]Now the gifts are open [03:19.66]The toys are broken [03:26.12]The speeches are all spoken [03:30.07]And the dishes cleared away [03:36.43]The stream keeps flowing [03:44.01]My doubts are growing [03:49.18]Cause I've got no way of knowing if it'll be damned or reach the sea [04:01.08]For you and me [04:15.31]When I was a child in a little kid's world [04:24.13]My heart was the same as the one I have now [04:33.53]But it amazes me how much everything else has changed
