Prayer

Lyrics by：Tom Odell/Laurie Blundell

Composed by：Tom Odell/Laurie Blundell

Oh my boy

Imagine the world that you're gonna enjoy

You're charming just like your grandma

Strumming your toy guitar

You've got her wrapped around your fingers it seems

Singing your songs of love

Telling her what you'll be when you grow up

A singer-songwriter whatever you decide

It's gonna be tough

Getting to know the black dog in your blood

When the war is won

Just promise you'll come and visit us

All these prayers

Does anybody know if there's a heaven up there?

I'm hoping if there is then it may be

Somewhere I can see your eyes still gently smiling at me

Open up a beer

Feeling kind of angry you're not here

Don't wanna be alone

I pick up my iPhone

And I choose which part of my mind I will abuse

I promised I wouldn't

But it's just too good to refuse

All these dreams

They never turn out quite as big as they seem

Still waiting for my mother to arrive

And sit down by my side

And tell me I don't need to worry anymore

Sitting on a plane drinking to anaesthetise the pain

Don't know where it comes from

Been there ever since I was young I guess

But when I'm with my friends I feel it less

Time out of my mind that's when I find I'm at my best
