Lyrics

[Intro]
La la la la la la la la la
Mmm
La la la la la la la la la
[Verse 1]
There's a lot of ground to cover
One foot and then the other
On my way, my way to somewhere new
A few false starts, can you forgive this
Cautious heart and just bear with it
While it does what I thought it couldn't do?
[Chorus]
I could go back to the old place
And write your name on every blank page
But it's a story now, just a story now
That's the kind of thing that you'd say
You say no need to look behind me
That I can keep you here beside me
To make a mess of it, then make the best of it
It isn't perfect, but it might be
[Refrain]
La la la la la la la la la
Hmm
La la la la la la la la la
[Verse 2]
You dip your toe and then you paddle
All before you swim the Channel
Thought I'd never make it, but I might
[Chorus]
Oh, I could go back to the old place
And write your name on every blank page
But it's a story now, just a story now
That's the kind of thing that you'd say
You say no need to look behind me
That I can keep you here beside me
To make a mess of it, then make the best of it
It isn't perfect, but it might be
[Refrain]
La la la la la la la la la
Mmm
[Bridge]
Treading lightly, thinking slightly
It just might be, it just might be
Treading lightly, thinking slightly
It just might be, it just might be, it just might be
[Chorus]
Oh, I could go back to the old place
And write your name on every blank page
But it's a story now, just a story now
Is the kind of thing that you'd say
That there's no need to look behind me
That I can keep you here beside me
To make a mess of it, then make the best of it
It isn't perfect, but it might be, yeah
[Refrain]
La la la la la la la la la
Like it might be
Hmm
Like it might be
La la la la la la la la la
[Outro]
Woo-ooh-ooh
Ooh
Might be, might be, might be
