[Verse 1: Ben Howard]
Always a riddle in the world she said
Always a riddle inside my head
Always a thing of wonder the way we come to be
Oh it's a big old place for me, yeah it's a big old world indeed
Everyone is killing me and everything conspires
[Chorus: Ben Howard]
Mhh in dreams I have watched it spin
Seen a violent crack of atoms where all light comes in
Mhh in dreams I have lain in sin just to be the cracked and the cared for
[Bridge: Ben Howard]
How can I ask, ask for more?
[Verse 2: Ben Howard]
Always a riddle in the world she says
Always a riddle inside my head
Always a thing of wonder the way we come to be
Oh it's a big old place for me, yeah it's a big old world indeed
Kicking my heels and wondering how I've been here so long
[Chorus: Ben Howard]
Mhh in dreams I have watched it spin
See a violent crack of atoms where all light comes in
Mhh in dreams I saw Aesop's kin
Just a carcass of a man, all alone inside his skin
[Bridge: Ben Howard]
Where to, where to begin?
[Outro: Ben Howard]
I live alone now
I live alone in life without you here
I may be troubled but I'm gracious in defeat
Oh I may be troubled but I'm gracious in defeat
