A warning sign

I missed the good part then I realised

I started looking and the bubble burst

I started looking for excuses



Come on in

I've got to tell you what a state I'm in

I've got to tell you in my loudest tones

That I started looking for a warning sign



When the truth is

I miss you

Yeah the truth is

That I miss you so



A warning sign

You came back to haunt me and I realised

That you were an island and I passed you by

When you were an island to discover



Come on in

I've got to tell you what a state I'm in

I've got to tell you in my loudest tones

That I started looking for a warning sign



When the truth is

I miss you

Yeah the truth is

That I miss you so



And I'm tired

I should not have let you go



So I crawl back into your open arms

Yes I crawl back into your open arms

And I crawl back into your open arms

Yes I crawl back into your open arms
