Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is where, this is where the bottle lands
Where all the biggest questions meet
With little feet stood in the sand
[Verse 2]
This is where the echoes swell to nothing on the tide
And where a tiny pair of hands
Finds a sea-worn piece of glass
And sets it as a sapphire in her mind
[Verse 3]
And there she stands
Throwing both her arms around the world
The world that doesn't even know
How much it needs this little girl
[Verse 4]
It's all gonna be magnificent, she says
It's all gonna be magnificent
[Verse 5]
This is where it all began
To light your mother's cigarettes
Meant I got to touch her hand
[Verse 6]
And my heart there defrosting in her gaze
Wasn't built to be that way
Suddenly I understand
[Verse 7]
There on the sand
Throwing both her arms around the world
The world that doesn't even know
How much it needs this little girl
[Verse 8]
It's all gonna be magnificent, she says
It's all gonna be magnificent, she says
It's all gonna be magnificent, she says
It's all gonna be magnificent
[Verse 9]
The echoes slow
The bottle lands
The echoes slow
And there she stands
