Set the Table (The One That Got Away) Video (MV)

Set the table in the courtyard
Silent movie black and white
We developed in a dark room
Came to focus out of sight

But certain things just never die
I could feel you in my life
A flower blooming in reverse
Light pollution in the sky

You were holding onto me
While you held the midwifes hand
And I would sing my songs to you
Picture how you used to stand

In my doorway, backed by light
By the kitchen sink at night
Limbs all tangled in the sheets
I pray for mercy it repeats

I try to string it into words
The way the years have chipped away
They were crawling on their bellies
New years eve & Christmas day

On your birthday and on mine
When the wind would hit my face
I always hoped the gust of wind
Had brushed across yours on the way

You think of me from time to time
When I was yours and you were mine
But we lost a baby, lost our love
And I just wasn't good enough

Darling we parted long ago
We couldn't see around the bends
You're the one that got away
And I just want it all to end

I sip my wine around my smiles
Shining eyes my body stills
What a lovely meal my darling
Couldn't taste the sleeping pills

I set the table in the courtyard
Silent movie
Black and white
I will wait for you to join me
For an endless summer night

But the neighbours smelled the burning
I had left the oven on
Revived at 5 o'clock this morning
I guess there was something i forgot

Lying here I see it clearly
I never wanted to forget
I would make myself remember
Pathetic junkie for regret

But I will be not victim to
The broken love I have for you
If I can dig a hole to die in
I'll build a life to live in too
