Brisbane - Nina Nesbitt

Breath it out

Close your eyes

It’s finally taking over

Silence falls

In the room

I wanna keep this moment

Like a bottle of perfume

‘Cause I’m terrified

That those wrinkles by your eyes

Will become blurry lines

In a couple of years from now

When I’m thinking of your face

And suddenly it fades from me

15 good years

We couldn’t be much closer

But if you’re gone

And I’m here

I’m not just somebody’s daughter, now

Your heart is slowing down

Like a train pulling in to the station

I’m about as helpless as

Those empty bottles of medication

And there’ll come a time

When I’m dressed in white

And a space by my side

Should’ve been filled by you

But I’ll be thinking of your face

And hoping that you’re thinking of me, too

15 good years

We couldn’t be much closer

But if you’re gone

And I’m here

I’m not just somebody’s daughter, now

You gave me life

Guess I thought you’d be a mother

Those Brisbane lights

They’re shining for you

Your lungs are black

Your body’s fading grey

But everything is blinding me, now

15 good years

We couldn’t be much closer

But if you’re gone, and I’m here

I’m not just somebody’s daughter

15 good years

Those Brisbane lights

They’re shining for you

But if you’re gone, and I’m here

I’m not just somebody’s daughter, now
