Lyrics The Stops - elbow

The Stops

I can’t undo the day
It won’t go under the rug
I pull out all the stops
And you pull the plug
These are sober days and I know it can’t be But I’ll miss you the way you miss the sea
Don’t look down
Keep staring like you’ve never seen the stars
If you need me to remind you who you are
Little blossom there’s the shiniest soul
Just behind those eyes
«No longer my affair»
Well I can’t go there just yet
So I’ve come to love and trust those friends
That are holding your net
Falling off used to mean
Maybe grazing a knee
And I’ll miss you the way you miss the sea
Don’t look down
Keep staring like you’ve never seen the stars
If you need me to remind you who you are
Little blossom there’s the shiniest soul
Just behind these eyes
While I won’t second guess
What you’re thinking of me
I will miss you the way you miss the sea
