Track and Field

Looking back one last time as the car slowly pulls away
I never know I’m leaving until it’s just too late to stay
And it’s like I'm running track and field and I’m coming up short again
Tarring round the football field until my lungs cave in
Everything’s changing and I’m getting pulled out with the tide
Let all wash over me the ebb and flow of my life
Everyone’s gone home but I'm still treading water
Underneath the flood lights
Every year I’m a little bit older and a little bit further behind
The guys are all moving back home but I’m not that way inclined
Could never see the future only the space in front of my eyes
Wandering aimlessly the blind following the blind
Everything’s changing and I’m getting pulled out with the tide
Let all wash over me the ebb and flow of my life
Everyone’s gone home but I'm still treading water
Underneath the flood lights

Home Alone
01:26

An empty house an empty bed
I take a walk around my head
A corridor a window pane
I stick my head put to feel the rain
Home alone
Someone please pick up the phone
Home alone
Someone please pick up the phone
In the kitchen late at night
A little scared leave on the light
Cold tiles and an open beer
I let the furniture disappear
Home alone
Someone please pick up the phone
Home alone
Someone please pick up the phone

You’re a spitfire baby burning up on impact
Kamikaze pilot when you’re feeling attacked
I know alls fair in love and war
But this friendly fires is a little untoward
And after all this fighting I still miss you
And if you asked I would forgive
But I know that you never will
Cause you’re just like him you’re gonna die on that hill
Playing Russian roulette with truth or dare
Got your tongue on the trigger your hands in the air
Burnt the whole house down while still inside
Oh you’ve done it now everything is coming untied
And after all this time I still miss you
And if you asked I would forgive
But I know that you never will
Cause you're just like me you're gonna die on that hill

Blue Christmas

Here comes the winter again
Swept you up and knocked you off your feet
Clinging to the cracks of daylight
Like the way you grip your second cup of coffee
Bet it never used to feel like this
Waiting up all night on Christmas Eve
You wonder where the magic has gone
Packed up like the lights upon your tree
But don’t worry friend
Winter always finds a way to end
And if you’re still awake
I will drive around in circles till you fall asleep
To the hum of carols the radio
So I can see you next Christmas
You wake up in the darkness again
Go to work just to go right back to sleep
Waiting at the train station
You turn your face into the freezing wind
Now you’re crying over your cereal
And laughin as you pour it down the drain
You walk around the neighbourhood
And let the snowfall wash it all away
But don’t worry friend
Winter always finds a way to end
And if you’re still awake
I will drive around in circles till you fall asleep
To the hum of carols the radio
So I can see you next Christmas
So I can see you

Haunted
01:49

You burst in like a bird that hits the window
A little loud, your arms an open angle
And it was like I knew you as a kid
Copy and pasted into everything I did
I know that you’ve got problems
Cause your problems are my problem
And now the only problems that you’re gone
Now everything I see is a memorial to you
A hidden epitaph in convenience store booze
The smell of cigarettes are burned into my brain
I know that you’re not dead but you’re haunting me in vain
Last night I thought I saw you walking down our old street
It was your doppelgänger trying to be the death of me

You are my oldest friend
Sitting cross legged on the floor
Your eyes are looking out
But you see straight through me
You see straight through it all
Youre speaking in riddles
And I’m too drunk to understand
I wish I could read
you like a book
that I cannot put down
Sanskrit writer won’t you tell me what you mean
These dead languages are never what they seem
I know you’ve got your secrets and I mine
Trading them is what friends are for
And on Remembrance Day
You’re choking in the minutes silence
I slap you on the back
Saying let it out
Let it all come out
Sanskrit writer won’t you tell me what you mean
These dead languages are never what they seem
I know you’ve got your secrets and I mine
Trading them is what friends are for

I miss our stinking house
The way the pipes came out the wall
The way we’d see our breathe
In the morning Down the hall
I miss my stupid friends
The way they’d keep me all night
Telling stupid jokes ok
Yeah I guess they’re alright
Cause it’s like the goonies said
It was our time
It was all the time
And it could last forever
I miss the things we’d do
Meet on the campus by the tower
Well pick up Julia
Go dancing at sunflower
I miss our little life
The tiny world that we had made
Me and my stupid friends
Doing dares were not afraid
Cause it’s like the goonies said
It was our time
It was all time
Everytjme
And it couldnt last forever
No it couldn’t last forever
