Lyrics
And the birds still sing outside these
These windows where we sat together
Like nothing ever happened here oh
The white house on the hill
And black clouds the weather
And the church spire, over the river
She still sits there warm, in the evening glow

But you don't care about
These scenes I treasure
About these wore swimmers
I know, I know
Seems everything around here
Stays like stone
Seems it's about time darling
About time we let this all go

'Cause everything will start again anew
'Cause everything just goes away my friend
And every king knows it to be true
That every kingdom must one day come to an end
End
End
End

And the sun vanished, may be long gone
And all these memories we've found
But she'll be here when it's all done
When our bodies laying beneath the ground
She knows everything that goes around
Comes, comes around here
She knows everything that stays here somehow
Guess we'd all begin

Everything will start again anew
'Cause everything just goes away my friend
And every king knows it to be true
That every kingdom must one day come to an end
End oh, oh, oh
End
End

Genius Lyrics
And the birds still sing outside / These windows where we sat together / Like nothing ever happened here / The white house on the hill, black clouds of weather
Ben admits that whatever has happened, life will go on. Life, in this verse being ’’the birds singing’’, will carry on, not caring about what has happened before, as nothing is forever.
Ben Howard – Promise
[Verse 1] / Meet me there / With bundles of flowers / We'll wade through the hours / Of cold, winter / She'll howl at the walls / Tearing down doors / Of time, shelter, as we go
They haunt me like orchids in a graveyard here
Orchids are often flowers associated with life, and its juxtaposition to graveyard is meant to be ironic.
Ben Howard (Ft. Ayla Schafer & Jonny Pryor) – Ocean Song
Been here staring, staring at the rain to long now / Winter coal burning at my toes / Seems like everything, everything I do is going wrong somehow / Feeling blue everywhere that I
Ben Howard – Promise Samples

My father he told me what goes around / Comes, comes around again
The phrase “what goes around, comes around” alludes to the idea of karma; what you do will come back to you. In this case, if you cheat people around you, you’ll be cheated later.
Ben Howard – Gracious
