See It So Clear

There's a photograph in celluloid
Some little boy
A sweet sad paragraph
I wrote in the school magazine
And if I close my eyes
And it all comes back to me
Under sunny skies
When I was seventeen

But all these solid certainties
They had sadness underneath
And all these happy memories
They have spaces in between

Oh I see it now, see it now
Look back and see from shadows
The loneliness reaching for me
I will give it a home so it's never alone
It was buried so deep but
I see it now, see it now
Look back and see from shadows
The loneliness reaching for me
I will give it a home so it's never alone
Now there's nothing to fear
I see it so clear

Online video, low quality
I'm watching me
Why I'll never know what's dead and gone
Keeps holding on
I try to shut my mind but it still comes back to me
Under different skies, now I'm 33

When all life's solid certainties
Have been shaken to the core
No defeats, no victories
I won't fight it anymore

Oh I see it now, see it now
Look back and see from shadows
The loneliness reaching for me
I will give it a home so it's never alone
It was buried so deep but
I see it now, see it now
Look back and see from shadows
The loneliness reaching for me
I will give it a home so it's never alone
Now I've nothing to fear
I see it so clear
