tulips

i've felt so dizzy for the past couple of days. my head feels like it's swimming with doubts and concerns. my stomach feels the same way.

a seventeen year old alone in amsterdam with a suitcase? i'm scared.

i know this is the crazy thing i've wanted to do for months. uncertainty is to be expected, surely.

i know i'll be safe. my 'insurance' will take care of me.

i know i'll be happy. my 'insurance' would do anything for me. before i even ask.

i really thought you would turn up tonight. i can't blame you for disappointment this time though, can i?

When you said tulips
I knew that you were mine
When I caught you there
Crying in the night
Wearing my jacket
Wearing that smile
I knew that I'd found you
This could be an opportunity
Were you unawares?
Did it catch you out?
Or did it break you in
Right from the start?
It's as pure as fire
It's as pure as snow
I knew that I'd found you
This could be an opportunity
If you promise to let it grow

'Cos you're the one I love
