lyrics

Take me back to that field
I know that what I felt was real
You lay by my side
Dappled in the sunday light

I thought it would never end
But now we’re coming round the bend
And we’re so much older now
I feel the time is running out

In the halfway light
You said ‘baby I’d choose you twice’
‘I’d choose you twice’
You said ‘baby I’d choose you twice’

You said ‘if we had one more night
I’d be spending it by your side’
I’d choose you twice
You know baby I’d choose you twice

In the kitchen there
Your arm extended in the air
What was I to say
When we could see the end of days

All the places we never went
And all the books we never read
Isn’t it much too soon
I can’t believe I’m losing you

But in the halfway light
You said ‘baby I’d choose you twice’
I'd choose you twice
You said ‘baby I’d choose you twice’

You said ‘if we had one more life
I’d be spending it by your side’
Kissed me one last time
You said ‘baby I’d choose you twice’
