Hannah – “I wrote the lyrics to this song on a train when I was travelling a few years ago. It’s about accepting that which is outside of your control and allowing that acceptance to be a source of strength and solace rather than an admission of defeat.”
[Verse 1]
The pressure that comes
With filling page one
Could drive one to drink
Here it is, I am done
Call it a day
Call it a night
You cannot do wrong
I cannot do right
[Chorus]
If I knew where to start
I might know where to end
Might know when to leave
I might know how to bend
These rules that were written
By no pen of mine
To which I adhere
By which we abide
[Verse 2]
The pen is not black
I won’t write in blue
It doesn’t seem right
When I’m writing of you
Call it a day
Call it a night
You’ve nothing to say
If you’ve nothing to write
[Chorus]
If I knew where to start
I might know where to end
Might know when to leave
I might know how to bend
These rules that were written
By no pen of mine
To which I adhere
By which we abide
[Verse 3]
The writing’s on the wall
I had no part in it at all
The book is in the bin
Why start a fight I’ll never win
Black or blue or red
I cannot change the things you said
So take her home to bed
I’m sure by morning you’ll be wed
