Ellie’s ode to her father details their relationship when she was younger. She spoke about the song with Michael Parkinson on Parkinson Masterclass in 2013, talking about how the song came about; how she didn’t think her father cared, but how she is now more sympathetic about the situation:
If I sp...
[Verse 1]
Clinging to me
Like a last breath you would breathe
You were like home to me
I don't recognise this street
[Verse 2]
Please don't close your eyes
Don't know where to look without them
Outside, the cars speed by
I'd never heard them until now
[Chorus]
I know you care
I know it has always been there
But there's trouble ahead, I can feel it
You are just saving yourself when you hide it
Yeah, I know you care
I see it in the way that you stare
As if there was trouble ahead and you knew it
I'll be saving myself from the ruin
And I know you care
[Verse 3]
I used to run down the stairs
To the door when I thought you were there
Too shaped to the comfort of us
Two lovers locked out of love
[Chorus]
Oh, but I know you care
I know it has always been there
But there's trouble ahead, I can feel it
You are just saving yourself when you hide it
Yeah, I know you care
I see it in the way that you stare
As if there was trouble ahead and you knew it
I'll be saving myself from the ruin
[Bridge]
I know it wasn't always wrong
But I've never known a winter so cold
Now, I don't warm my hands in your coat
But I still hope
'Cause this is how things ought to have been
And I know the worst of it wasn't all that it seemed
Why can't I dream?
Why can't I dream?
[Outro]
'Cause I know you care
And I know you care
I know you care
I know you care
I know it's always been there
