Lyrics Things You've Never Done - Passenger

Things You've Never Done

When you were younger
Blue eyed boy wonder
Never used to ponder
On what life may hide
Now that you’re older
The nights are so much colder
Never even told her
How you feel inside
You were so proud
With your head up in the white clouds
She’d call you so loud
But you’d never know
Now that you’re wiser
You’d never compromise her
Ever day you’d realise her
But this bird has flown
And you’ve blown out all your candles one by one
And you curse yourself for things you’ve never done
She would wait for you
Idolise, adore you
Love and reassure you
You couldn’t let it be
You let it linger
Slip on through your fingers
So that September
She moved across the sea
How your face dropped
And how your heart stopped
Sitting at the bus stop
When they told you that she’d gone
So you run to the harbour
Need to tell her that you love her
As the boat disappears
You never felt so alone
'Cause you’ve blown out all your candles one by one
And you curse yourself for things you never done
Where were you when her hour of need had come?
Now you curse yourself for things you never done
Now your grandson blonde haired blue eyed handsome
Calls you up from London and sits and asks you why
So your answer don’t be scared of failure
For the only failure is never to try
