[Verse 1] Twelve twelve upon my phone I sent it off to the unknown To see what the unseen might have seen And got an answer on my screen [Spoken message] “Trust doesn’t grow from knowing What tomorrow has in store It grows each time you find a way Through what you’ve not met before” [Verse 2] I put my phone down on the chair A bird flies past; I watch it go My dog is sleeping on the couch There’s something in the plant, though A yellow leaf beside the glass Has grown a rather toothy smile I look at him, he looks at me My very own smart crocodile [Chorus] Codes in numbers, codes in leaves Some I doubt, some I believe A shape, a colour meets my eye And thoughts come drifting by [Verse 3] A little heart upon the ground A tiny feather lying near I almost put it in my pocket Then think: the message came through clear I don’t collect them anymore There’s quite enough upon my shelf I toss the heart into the bin And keep the message to myself [Verse 4] Outside the church, before I play Two butterflies come into view I’ve never seen that colour here I stand and watch them passing through [Chorus] Codes in numbers, codes in leaves Some I doubt, some I believe A shape, a colour meets my eye And thoughts come drifting by [Bridge] One, two, three, four — I check the time The numbers make a perfect line No hidden meaning, nothing more: I’m late — I should be out the door! [Instrumental break] [Final Chorus] Codes in numbers, codes in leaves Some I doubt, some I believe A shape, a colour meets my eye And thoughts come drifting by
