Everything Comes Back To You
Everywhere I go, everything I do
My thoughts always come back to you
A person in the street carrying a child
Seeing somebody pushing a pram
A family with three healthy kids
Your brothers in the pool learning to swim
Everywhere I go, everything I do
My thoughts always return to you
A toddler who's just learnt to walk
Children playing in the park
A boy in a red jumper off to nursery
Undisturbed autumn leaves lying on the ground
Everywhere I go, everything I do
I think of all the things that you never got to do
Going out as a family
Watching a film in our front room
Sitting alone eating my lunch
Walking away from the school on my own
Everywhere I go, everywhere I look
I'm reminded of the life which meningitis took
Your brothers at the bathroom sink brushing their teeth
Teenage boys walking past me in a shop
Christmas', birthdays, going on our holidays
Knowing that I should be applying for your school
Everywhere I go, everything I see
I think of the person who you never got to be
Everywhere I go, everything I do
My thoughts, my heart belongs to you
