"Versions Of You" lyrics

"Versions Of You"

Watching videos of you
The little actor in your room
The way you fly across the frame
It's hard to capture what you do

Driving through Black Forests
Where the leaves are golden-tipped
Playing favourite bridges
In the dense mid-morning mist

Watching videos of you
Watching videos of you

I can only call to mind
The way you look at this present time
I can barely comprehend
All these versions of you
When you were still brand-new
Well, I couldn't picture you
But now I'm seeing in my dreams
All these versions of you
All these versions of you
All these versions of you

I'm impulsive, so are you
But I'm the one with no excuse
The guide ropes dig into the ground
Mind-numbing merged with the profound

Watching videos of you
To keep the loneliness at bay
Memorising movements
The unselfconscious child at play

I can only call to mind
The way you look at this present time
I can barely comprehend
All these versions of you
When you were still brand-new
Well, I couldn't picture you
But now I'm seeing in my dreams
All these versions of you
All these versions of you
All these versions of you

And in my misery
You will comfort me
And when you're down at heart
I will play my part
You have gifted me
Responsibility
That I could barely comprehend
Before these versions of you

I can only call to mind
The way you look at this present time
I can barely comprehend
All these versions of you
All these versions of you
I've been archiving versions of you
I've been archiving versions of you
I've been archiving versions of you
