  • Ion square, perspex swings
    I breathe out, you breathe in
    Permanent midnight
    Our love, our love
    How we've come to depend
    On each other to the end
    The space between us has disappeared
    You finish my, you finish my words for me

    I remember how it began
    So many great days in a row
    Barefoot on Bishopsgate
    Trying to find Blake's grave
    If we could stay like this in a silver foil
    Trapped in amber for a life
    Permanent midnight
    Our love, our love

    [Chorus]
    I carry your heart here with me
    I carry it in my heart
    I carry your heart with me
    I carry it in my heart

    Who said unbroken happiness
    Is a bore, is a bore?
    Who said it, my love? I don't mind it
    Anymore, anymore
    And I reach out a hand over your side of the bed
    Pull that blanket over your shoulders exposed to the night
    And the hunger of those early years will never return
    But I don't mind, I don't mind
    Cause I love my mind when I'm fucking you
    Slowed down to a crawl
    Years of crime and the bread line
    Have not at all dimmed your shine
    So let's stay in, let the sofa be our car
    Let's stay in, let the TV be our stars
    I found my dancing shoes but they don't fit
    All the bright lights do is bore me
    They bore me

    [Chorus] Writer/s: GORDON MOAKES, KELE OKEREKE, MATT TONG, RUSSELL LISSACK
