losing wintercoats - lil ink lyrics
(verse)
lonely, solo, shaking in snow
back and forth and to and fro
must’ve been only seven years old
can’t go home without her coat
and forget about asking around for a phone
she’d barely learnt how to walk home on her own
and just about when she was giving up hope
she saw him there
she barely knew him, david, from the year above
but familiar faces at this point were strikes of luck
and before she even got the chance to ask about her coat
david ran over, and offered help, and told a couple jokes
hours of tear stains, washed away
by greater swathes of fun and play
forget the coat, they’re playing games
but it was reaching half past eight
and when she realised she was late
the boy still walked her down the slates
and all the way back to her place
and then they said goodbye
(chorus)
and when the world turns, round in rotation
the thought can’t help but escape
that you’re the only one for me
into the grander scheme of things
and maybe just like your lost winter*coat
we’ll never find a replacement
(verse)
years went by, he stuck by her side
no one else had quite her vibe
must’ve been the highlight of his life
can’t forget about her eyes
but she seemed out of reach, cause she saw other guys
he figured that it wasn’t worth it to try
and just about when he was giving up hope
she heard his prayer
three in the morning, david’s phone received a buzz
a familiar face was at the door to wake him up
but before he even got the chance to ask why she was there
she just shut him up and kissed him running fingers through his hair
all the guys that told her lies
were worthless as she realised
her wish had been there all this time
she’d known her soulmate all her life
and as she let him know that night
they knew that nothing else was right
he walked her home in dawning light
and then they said goodbye
(chorus)
and when the world turns, round in rotation
the thought can’t help but escape
that you’re the only one for me
into the grander scheme of things
and maybe just like your lost winter*coat
we’ll never find a replacement
(verse)
vows, and flowers, a crowd in a church
friends, and family, boys and girls
rings exchanged to forever confirm
she was his and he was her’s
and they danced through the night to the songs they preferred
he barely cared when she spilt wine on his shirt
they knew they would never give up on hope
their lives were shared
a fortnight later
yeah, they flew off like a dove
to escape familiar places where they both grew up
and before they even realised that their honeymoon began
they were on the plane back home trying to design a family plan
the couple worked to rent a house
that overlooked the very route
on which he came to help her out
where they first met, or thereabouts
and shedding any shreds of doubt
they brought the gift of life around
this pair’s become a family now
inseparable for life
(chorus)
and when the world turns, round in rotation
the thought can’t help but escape
that you’re the only one for me
into the grander scheme of things
and maybe just like your lost winter*coat
we’ll never find a replacement
(bridge)
from there, they lived
their fantasy
their kid, grew old
he chased his dreams
but stop!
like that
you could lose it all
because the whir of the ambulances
scored a scene so unexpected
starring cardiac arrest and
david’s prayers for her to stay
the vehicles sped through the rain
the paramedics tried to save his
love but it was far too late
he had to say it one final time
he had to say goodbye
(final chorus)
and when the world turns, round in rotation
the thought can’t help but escape
that you’re the only one for me
into the grander scheme of things
and maybe just like your lost winter*coat
*i’ll* never find a replacement
