[00:26.425]Grey skies, suburban pines
[00:30.940]Come watch a film at mine.
[00:34.955]That’s where you grew up playing,
[00:37.971]Near the bridge above the motorway.
[00:42.488]Big news in our hometown -
[00:45.999]They’re building a new roundabout,
[00:49.760]Will anybody ever get out,
[00:53.272]Our neck of the woods?
[01:11.708]Some chapters that you never knew,
[01:15.221]I wore a t-shirt in the swimming pool,
[01:18.735]When the nettles seemed to smell like lemon,
[01:22.750]And the frogs got in the classroom.
[01:27.267]I played a lot of golf with dad that winter,
[01:31.030]Got pretty good at missing sitters,
[01:34.796]Maybe one day I’ll be a big hitter,
[01:38.309]And cross 300 yards.
[01:41.571]And I wonder what you did those days,
[01:45.084]Getting busy singing in the rain,
[01:48.850]Would you tell Gene Kelly that you like his hair,
[01:52.614]But if you wanna learn the language then you’ve gotta live there?
[02:11.938]I know you got a job nearby,
[02:16.454]Stacking shelves to pass the time,
[02:19.969]Around then I had gone away,
[02:23.234]Hadn’t met you yet, but i'll meet you someday.
[02:27.501]I’m 28 in ‘Cathedral grove’,
[02:31.013]Here in Canada the trees can grow,
[02:34.526]In their quiet life they reach the sky,
[02:38.291]One’s 70 metres high!
[02:42.560]And I’d read a book on the evergreens,
[02:46.324]They’d taken town in the 70’s,
[02:50.339]Planted there for their privacy,
[02:54.105]But they wouldn’t stop you meeting me.
[03:12.928]Came home that summer and I didn’t leave,
[03:16.943]Made a nest among the trees,
[03:20.958]Nestled in with family,
[03:24.469]My wings got tired of flying.
[03:27.980]Out the rough and tumble, urban jungle,
[03:31.743]We were river swimmers, we were night star lovers,
[03:36.011]Like shy little deer we would run for cover,
[03:39.772]Found our cover in each other’s arms.
[03:43.284]And its so true, until I met you,
[03:46.797]I’d never really danced before,
[03:50.813]I’d slipped up once on a wedding floor,
[03:54.576]From then just stood there watching.
[04:13.146]And its funny now that you love somehow,
[04:16.910]That I wear my slippers around the town,
[04:21.176]Trip over when we walk the dog,
[04:24.686]Use the windscreen wipers til you tell me stop.
[04:28.449]And we both love the windows open,
[04:32.716]Both have a funny thing about elbows,
[04:36.486]And now we’ve joined the swimming pool,
[04:39.746]And this July I’ll marry you.
[04:43.509]We grew up in suburban pines,
[04:47.774]Strangers til the stars aligned,
[04:51.537]Shopped at the same supermarkets,
[04:55.049]The same old chalky walks.
[04:59.065]Well if I knew that someday soon,
[05:02.583]In suburban pines I’d be meeting you,
[05:06.597]Somewhere down that avenue,
[05:09.859]I would have danced the road wearing different shoes.
[05:15.217]Yea, if I knew that someday soon,
[05:19.182]In suburban pines I’d be meeting you,
[05:23.196]I would have danced the avenue,
[05:26.707]I would have danced the road wearing different shoes.
[05:45.528]So is the real magic,
[05:48.322]The doorstep glory,
[05:50.001]In the real life ordinary story?
[06:00.510]Yea, is the real magic, the doorstep glory,
[06:05.282]In the real life ordinary story?
[06:11.807]Cos it feels like, I’m gonna be alright.
[06:25.363]Feels like, it's gonna be alright.
