Never thought I'd listen to Kodaline,
as I walk down the Memory Lane

Oh, Clementine
For when I was with you I've always been sane
You said you'd be at nine
But since you were no longer mine,
I spent all night with you in my mind
And glasses of champagne on my hand

Oh, Clementine
It's hard for me even to draw a line
Letting you go costs insanity I can't define
With countless loss of dopamine
But I guess if you're fine
I'd do my best not to intervene

Oh, Clementine
February 14th you're no longer my Valentine
Driving through the sreets I ran out of gasoline
But the time is due and I've come to the deadline
While sighing 'I'm done'
I know it's time for me to be gone

You left me feeling accomplished
Like the last page of a good book
We held true to form
even as the tiny cracks magnified
So I got you holding
on to the evening breeze
But sunsets no matter how beautiful only last as long
as a gasp

The pieces fell all around
softer than a gentle rain
Embracingly as the fingers soothe the scars without the pain

Kodaline

I'm tired,
Writing these lines,
Which rarely make sense,
Somehow helps, momentarily at the least,
But these thoughts, and this life,
Throw me a curve ball,
Every time they feel better,
Kodaline's lyrics,
Am I wasting my time, am I losing my mind?
Seem to have become the question of my life,
And this silence, makes it worse,
As I wonder,
*Does it make you feel better?

Spring-fresh portent
Drowning broods
Eight droplets
Valued over an ocean

Sky, painting humour
Bristles shed resemble
Trembling shade
Mirrors facing one another

A lot of rain
Just as well
We don’t control the waters
     surrounding our borders
Or the ones inside us when
They break
​             and spill forth
​​                                  in regret

But at least we have Kodaline.

The thirsty fall
The swelling fret
They can mean worlds

Let me hold you,
all night long,
close to my heart
where you actually belong,
cause maybe tomorrow
morning you will be gone,

Tonight I probably gonna fall
in love with you again,
yet tomorrow morning
I know my heart
is going to break down
into tiny pieces again,

Wait don't just go,
let's just sit in the corner
and gaze at the moon together,
and spill out all our secrets,
no more hiding, no more lies,
cause tomorrow morning
you will not be here to
keep more secrets,

tonight let's just dance
on our favourite song
one last time,
let me capture you in my brain,
how you lost yourself in Kodaline,
cause tomorrow morning
you will not be here to sing along,

let's just stay here for a while,
maybe one more night,
cause tomorrow morning
there will be no more reasons to stay,
I will love you all my life
and never know why.
