► LYRICS
Standing beneath the departure gate,
Trying not to let my words escape,
You knew it.
You knew it.
Another stranger takes a photograph,
This one I know is going to be the last,
I knew it.
I knew it.
But don’t cry now,
Cause time goes by far slower underwater.
And goodbye for now,
The tick of the clock is faster moving forward.
I can feel these changes,
Racing through my bones.
I can’t help it, I still feel these changes,
Even if you don’t.
It’s always something we’ve been after.
If there’s a void that you’re trying to fill,
And right now it seems like you never will,
I promise you’ll get there someday somehow.
In the back of my mind I know,
No one's ever gonna hold me half as close as you did.
And you called it.
But don’t cry now,
Cause time goes by far slower underwater.
And goodbye for now,
The tick of the clock is faster moving forward.
I can feel these changes,
Racing through my bones.
I can’t help it, I still feel these changes,
Even if you don’t.
It’s always something we’ve been after.
Changes growing, flowing, moving faster.
Changes going on, something we’ve been after.
Changes growing, flowing, moving faster.
Changes going on, something we’ve been after.
Changes moving through my blood.
(You’ll be fine Sammy)
I still feel these changes even if you don’t.
(You’re in safe hands)
Changes racing through my bones.
I can’t help it, I still feel these changes,
Even if you don’t.
It’s always something we’ve been after.
Changes.
► MEANING
This song was almost inevitable and a needed bit of closure to the ‘coming of age’ sentiment running throughout the EP. It starts with the realisation that a long distance relationship I’d had for 6 years wasn’t going to work out, but then beckons in the change that comes with that decision and the ramifications it will have on my life. Both exciting and daunting, this song really is, at its heart, an optimistic look to the future and all it might bring. Moving to London, falling in love again, and following my dreams in music are the real touchstones of this song rather than a mournful look back on what could have been. It can be summed up by a little clip of audio that I’d ripped from a video on my phone and placed deep within the song's emotive middle 8, where my girlfriend says “You’ll be fine Sammy, you’re in safe hands”.
