Letterbox

I'll never know what you'll find when you open up your letter box tomorrow
'Cause a little bird never tells me anything I want to know
She's my best friend, she's a sparrow
And I'll never never know what you never never never want to know
When you know what you are, O

If I had a pair of eyes on the back of my head for each time
You forgot to take out all the things you forgot to talk about
When you took a bite out of my spine
I would have a lot of eyes on me by this time, wouldn't I?
Wouldn't that just be fine?

Too late or soon to make noise about love and there's no time for sorrow
Run around in the rain with a hole in the brain till tomorrow

I'll never know what you'll find when you open up your letter box tomorrow
'Cause a little bird never tells me anything I want to know
She's my best friend, she's a sparrow
And I'll never never know what you never never never want to know
When you know what you are, O

That's adorable. :)

Lovely use of the lyrics (some of which I note I've been mis-hearing for umpteen years!) and syncing up clips to highlight various aspects of the relationship/story arc -- it's fairly subtle because everything's going by so quickly, but the lyrics remind you what you're looking at, e.g. the "best friend" moments and the love/sorrow/tomorrow sequence (I really like the way the pan of Sherlock in the graveyard fits with the music there).

Thank you so much!

And hee -- I realized I've been mis-hearing some of these lyrics for umpteen years, too. :-) But yay, I'm so glad that despite the speed (of song and clips alike) you connected with the relationship / story arc stuff! ♥
