Terminal 4

Lyrics

I assign meaning to railway stations, street signs and park benches
Landmarks of my triumphs, traumas, heartbreaks and adventures
Cities feel like chapters from my autobiography
Brought to life in a movie screening only I can see

London Heathrow arrivals, you were waiting at Terminal 4
That's when I first knew you did not love me anymore
Every time I pass through there I can see us standing there
In amongst all the smiling faces, our ghosts still hang in the air

Certain locations, precise coordinates transport me
Like combinations of words and melody they bring back history
Now I’m five and I’ve got nothing but time
Now I’m old and I want to go home

I never felt so excited as Christmas 1993
We waited so impatiently, just my big brother and me
Standing outside the house we lived in, strangers live there now
As though we never existed, but we’ll be always there somehow

Certain locations, precise coordinates transport me
Like combinations of words and melody they bring back history
Now I’m five and I’ve got nothing but time
Now I’m old and I want to go home
I just want to go home
