about

Escarpment by Photostat Machine

lyrics

Feeling breathless as we make it to the summit
The sun is slowly setting changing colours all around
I never dared dream that this place would be so peaceful
That the view would be so beautiful
Or you would be here with me
And now I'm breathing like a fish that's out of water
I'm watching as you're laughing
Falling to the ground
I never knew we would be able to see quite so much
But I know this would mean nothing
If you were not here with me

Don't say you'll go
Don't say it's over
'Cos I won't
I won't listen

Looking down now at the path we took to get here
The rocks that blocked our way before seem nothing more than stones
I always hoped one day I'd climb up this escarpment
And when i finally made it
You would be here with me
And so we're lying on our backs as daylight fading
Still shining in the setting sun
Reaching for the stars
I know I've found someone who'll help me when I need them
Who'll keep me climbing higher
Who'll always be here for me

Don't say you'll go
Don't say it's over
'Cos I won't
I won't listen
