I know what it'd be
There'd be earl grey and coffee
Bedtime and tea
And an old loved sofa
And there'd be you
And me
That's what we'd be
Two dogs by the hearthside
You'd hum sleepily
And there would be a fire
And photos in our farm
Our haven
By the sea
That's where we'd be
There'd be a rug by my feet
And I'd cook every night
And sometimes you'd drink
And sometimes we'd fight
And you'd always win
But I wouldn't mind
Because, most nights,
Some nights,
You'd lie beside me.
Settled
That's what we'd be.
Part of me likes what could be
But part of me has
Seen the inside of a tornado
And part of me
Loves in the heart of the sea
That part of me realises
That although you and I
Could be you
I would never now be me
So that future shall stay as
Just what could be.
