[Verse 1]

An old couple at the airport food café they like

I'm terrified and warm at the exact same time

There's so many days in those fragile cups of coffee

They hold in their hands what he will never have from me

[Verse 2]

A small purple bag in a colour she used to hate

Before realising it reminded her of lavender and grapes

And in the end, it's just a colour and such thoughts are just a waste

Because that shade now resides in the under eyes of her face

[Break]

Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 3]

He watches her ponder on her long favourite purse

The way she observes the fuss with a smile so good it hurts

He wears a slim gold chain he's not quite sure where he got

He's just worn it his whole life and thinks it's better on than off

[Verse 4]

And there's no flight they're catching any time soon

They just enjoy observing life on their odd little afternoons

And I enjoy watching them, but sometimes it gets me in a mood

Because with all your light, I could never dim you

[Refrain]

I'd never want to

I'd never want to

I'd never want to

I'd never want to

[Outro]

Want a piece of your burning hands for take-off

And wondering all the beautiful things I know you're made of
