  • Oh oh
    Oh oh
    And I go home alone
    I drive past the place that I was born
    And the places that I used to drink
    Young and drunk and stumbling in the street
    Outside the Joiners Arm's like foals unsteady on their feet
    With the art students and the boys in bands
    High on E and holding hands with someone that I just met

    I thought it doesn't get
    Better than this
    There can be nothing better than this
    Better than this
    And we climbed onto the roof, the museum
    And someone made love in the glass
    And I'd forgot my name
    And the way back to my mother's house
    With your black cool eyes and your bitten lips
    The world is at your fingertips
    It doesn't get better than this
    What else could be better than this?

    Oh, don't you know I have seen
    I have seen the fields aflame
    And everything I ever did
    Was just another way to scream your name

    Over and over and over and over again
    Over and over and over and over again

    Oh oh
    Oh oh
    And we're just children wanting children of our own
    I want a space to watch things grow
    But did I dream too big?
    Do I have to let it go?
    What if one day there is no such thing as snow?
    Oh God, what do I know?

    And I don't know anything (uh uh uh)
    Except that green is so green
    And there's a special kind of sadness that seems to come with spring

    Oh, don't you know I have seen
    I have seen the fields aflame
    And everything I ever did
    Was just another way to scream your name

    Over and over and over and over again
    Over and over and over and over again

    Oh, don't you know that I have seen
    I have seen the fields aflame
    But everything I ever did
    Was just another way to scream your name Writer/s: Brett Shaw, Florence Leontine Mary Welch
