Quiet Times

Dido · Safe Trip Home [2008]

Ask me where I'd go tonight

I'd go back to today

Last year

When me and you knew how to make each other happy

And there was hope with everything

It's hard enough to feel the world as it is and hold on anything

Without these quiet times you've brought round here



I'm gonna have to run away

I'm sure that I belong some other place

And I've seen another side of all I've seen

It keeps me wondering where my family is

It's hard enough to see the world as it is and hold on anything

Without these quiet times coming round here



Now I miss you and I want you

But I can't have you even when you're here



I suppose I have to take you with me

Broken mind

I'd rather leave you here to forget everything you've seen and known

Erase every idea

And you walk up in the street and hold my hand and smile

Well I won't be taken in 'cause I know how it turns out

And it takes me back to these quiet times coming round here



Now I miss you and I want you

You're not coming back

And I need you but I can't have you even when you're here



Now I miss you and I want you

You're not coming back

And I need you but I can't have you even when you're here
