Scars - James Bay Spotify Session 2015

I won't bore you with the long story
But I guess this song, you know, has a pretty special meaning um, to me
It's just one of those songs
It, it took me two years to write, which is quite a long time
But I had to go through all the stuff that it's about
To uh, to sort of get to the other end of it all, work it out in my head
Like I was trying to say
And I managed to to finish it
But yeah, it's called "Scars"

You're setting off
It's time to go, the engine's running
My mind is lost
We always knew this day was coming
And now it's more frightening than it's ever going to be

We grow apart
I watch you on the red horizon
Your lion's heart
Will protect you under stormy skies
And I will always be listening for your laughter and your tears

And as soon as I can hold you once again
I won't let go of you, I swear

We lived through scars this time
And I've made up my mind
We can't leave us behind anymore

Your hands are cold
Your lips are turning blue, you're shaking
This fragile heart
So heavy in my chest is breaking
And in the dark, you try to make a payphone call to me

But you're miles away
You're breaking up, you're on your own
It's hard to take
I need an hour just to say hello
But I can't make the truth of this work out for you or me

And for all the pennies in your pocket
We barely get a second just to speak

But we lived through scars this time
I've made up my mind
We can't leave us behind anymore
We'll have to hurt for now
But next time there's no doubt
'Cause I can't go without you anymore

Oh
Oh no
Oh
Oh no, oh
Oh
Oh yeah
Oh, oh
Yeah, yes

We lived through scars this time
And I've made up my mind
No, we can't leave us behind anymore
We'll have to hurt for now
But next time there's no doubt
'Cause I can't go without you anymore
No, I can't go without you anymore
