I want to dissolve you inside a tiny box
And take you up to London where we're more made for you
Now you've found your self-esteem
It's my favourite thing I've ever seen
You still don't get the words that you deserve
And the friends that you've made don't see your worth
I guess now I'll be a little closer
I guess I can give myself from there
For the time
Time
They're not your friends if you have to settle for them
They're just kids you have to settle for
It's not an omen good or bad
But you deserve more than sliding with that
This time
Time
This time
I'll file these words away
Under 'the things I wanted to say on the tube that day'
I'll file these words away
Because they meant more face to face
And just because my life isn't yours inside a tiny box anymore
It doesn't mean that I'm not there
In fact, it's quite on the contrary
