Lyrics

Ships off course are righted
Coal gets pressed to diamonds
Paupers rise to be knighted
Wrong clocks tell the right time
Hail storms lead to sunshine
Politicians might tell a true lie

Small degrees of change
Snowball in time
Like a migration south
One bird outta line
Ooooo

I wish I was Archimedes
So the North Star meant more to me
Than a beacon for ships lost at sea
But it’s you, it’s always you
That’s been the guiding light for me
Shining bright for me
Meaning something more to me

Rome wasn’t built in one day
Poor foundations, buildings sway
Well worn paths can wash away
Rivers were a small stream
Carved through land so slowly
Erosion might take ten centuries

Learning how to love you
Run back to your arms
I can’t un-sink this ship
But I’ll try for your heart
Ooooo, I’ll try

I wish I was Archimedes
So the North Star meant more to me
Than a beacon for ships lost at sea
But it’s you, it’s always you
That’s been the guiding light for me
Shining bright for me
Meaning something more to me

Gravity pulls uninvited
Long lost love reunited
Calling out, bring me back home
Gravity pulls uninvited
Long lost love reunited
Calling out, bring me back home

I wish I was Archimedes
So the North Star meant more to me
Than a beacon for ships lost at sea
But it’s you, it’s always you
That’s been the guiding light for me
Shining bright for me
Meaning something more to me
