into the night
swear i'll be out in half an hour
can't waste my time
it's all receding now
passing cop lights
and a parked car
with the doors open
and nobody there
sometimes
when your thoughts
hit you like a knife
sometimes
and i'm dreaming i'm sure
there's no reason to carry on
with these thoughts and these words
what for
i'd wait for hours
until you came back to the house
to feel alright
there's nowhere else i could survive

looking at a photograph
been so long that i'd forgotten
wish i knew the day it passed
feeling older by the season
don't know where you are
can't tell you how it's gone
tried to tough it out
made it out somehow
remember that time
it's a place in your mind
you can always go back
i was only passing by
wrapped up in the city lights
see the blur and the train cars
on and on
staring from an overpass
fields that fade and skies that last
on return the world grows still
viewed through scattered windows
and i wonder still
you can always go back

no one else around

slow down
living in this hell
i was caught out
swept up in the tides
and i'm drowning now
wanting nothing else
but to be there
with no one else around
left undone
don't know why
lose someone
half-light
sitting in the sun
by the campsite
could've been someone
but i'm nowhere now
living in my head
until the seasons
cycle back around

closer / get back
03:25
|
|||
|
sitting dormant
on the west end line
i was closer
than i've ever been
do you question
why you waste your time
living alone
what's the purpose
for this distant curse
up at midnight
thinking in reverse
is it worth it
all this wasted time
i can't get back
that i can't get back
so we're hiding out tonight
and i wonder what you're thinking
because you feel so far away
don't know how to make it right
