I went and bought you flowers
But I gave them away to somebody else
We made plans for hours
But I lived them out with somebody else
Someone had the life, had the cries, had the first dance
Butterflies in the back of my old car
A thousand lives
Caught in a fire, I, I, I
Dancing on hallowed ground
I count the times
We tried but I, I, I, I
Know some stories don't play out
We took a shot
But the truth is that we couldn't live through the pain
A thousand lives
Now I'm sat here thinking what if on? went right
I kept your lett?rs in the basement
Of a house that I bought with somebody else
I went and bought a bracelet
But I wrote a different name when I engraved it
Someone had the life, had the cries, had the first dance
Butterflies in the back of my old car
It was gone in a rush
Now it's all in the dust, oh
A thousand lives
Caught in a fire, I, I, I
Dancing on hallowed ground
I count the times
We tried but I, I, I, I
Know some stories don't play out
We took a shot
But the truth is that we couldn't live through the pain
A thousand lives
Now I'm sat here thinking what if one went right
Every face
Every place
Makes me think about it
Every doubt, but it's too late now
Every street
Every scene
Makes me think about it
Every need, but it's too late
A thousand lives
Caught in a fire, I, I, I
Dancing on hallowed ground
I count the times
We tried but I, I, I, I
Know some stories don't play out
We took a shot
But the truth is that we couldn't live through the pain
A thousand lives
Now I'm sat here thinking what if one went right

Lo stile musicale di Blunt è caratterizzato da melodie pop orecchiabili, testi introspettivi e influenze folk e rock. La sua musica ha conquistato un pubblico vasto e internazionale, vendendo oltre 20 milioni di album e 23 milioni di singoli in tutto il mondo. Tra i suoi album più importanti ricordiamo "All the Lost Souls" (2007), "Some Kind of Trouble" (2010) e "Moon Landing" (2013).

Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
