Destiny
Zero 7 · Simple Things
IÂ’ve gone to ground
IÂ’m watching porn
In my hotel dressing gown
And now I dream of you
But I still believe
ThereÂ’s only enough for one in this
Lonely hotel suite
The journeyÂ’s long
And it feels so bad
IÂ’m thinking back to the last day we had.
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know that IÂ’ll be back with you
I'm nearly with you
I'm nearly with you
When IÂ’m weak I draw strength from you
And when youÂ’re lost I know how to change your mood
And when IÂ’m down you breathe life over me
Even though weÂ’re miles apart we are each otherÂ’s destiny
On a clear day
IÂ’ll fly home to you
IÂ’m bending time getting back to you
Old moon fades into the new
And soon I know IÂ’ll be back with you
IÂ’m nearly with you
IÂ’m nearly with you
When IÂ’m weak I draw strength from you
And when youÂ’re lost I know how to change your mood
And when IÂ’m down you breathe life over me
Even though weÂ’re miles apart we are each otherÂ’s destiny
When IÂ’m weak I draw strength from you
And when youÂ’re lost I know how to change your mood
And when IÂ’m down you breathe life over me
Even though weÂ’re miles apart we are each otherÂ’s destiny
IÂ’ll fly, IÂ’ll fly home
IÂ’ll fly home and IÂ’ll fly home
