"i get dressed up in my winter clothes
and step outside to look at the roses
but they're all covered in the morning snow.

just open your heart
and the world will carry you home tonight.

it will.

i get dressed up in my summer clothes
and step outside to look at the roses
but they're all covered in their sharpened thorns.

just open your eyes
and the world will follow you home tonight.

it will.

lets put on our raincoats
and trench ourselves in english weather
just to know we're free.
we'll bury our heads down beneath the old oak tree
soon.

but please
oh, now take this broken heart of mine.
it's the only beat that i have left
just pulsing through this empty chest
and i don't know where i should begin.

i get dressed up in my autumn clothes
and step out side to pick up the leaves and
i can not believe the whole year has gone.

i open my arms to embrace you.
it's time to go right back to the start.

lets put on our raincoats
and trench ourselves in english weather
just to know we're free.
we'll bury our heads down beneath the old oak tree
soon.

but please
oh, now take this broken heart of mine.
it's the only beat that i have left
just pulsing through this empty chest
and i don't know where i should begin."
