Letras
I was up really late tonight
Waiting for light to shadowbox
You wear it in your face, all you do
Just let the ends inside you now
Each dawn you seem new to me
Black market fresh starts, black market blues
And I won't rest till ghosts haunt every corner of this city
From the storm drains of Brent to where we went to start anew
You young bold shivering thing
With eyes only for yourself
But that's okay cos I still feel it too
Rise up with the late tide
Don't let the night die on your watch
Show me some other place, not solitude
Cos they'd send me there for my mistakes
But they take years away
And all my nights were yesterdays till I met you
You'll write for the bloodlines like you did
When your romance was sprayed up on the motorway bridge
You left home with a warning
The kid that never came down
But you see more of the mornings
Than the wide suburban skies of your hometown
There is nowhere I would rather be than over you
There's no place that I could ever be, get through to you
Going somewhere I've seen in my dreams, it's falling away
When I meet you the time keeps running away
And this is one for every old friend that I've lost
Every girl I loved at school who got married to a ghost
And the absent sons and daughters who were waylaid on the road
With Lebanon and the tears that fell cos you're scared of getting old
You are the opposite fucking thing of a good reason to weep
You're the future of a place you've only been to in your sleep
You're the church bells in the morning when you've woken up cold
On the sofas you surrender to when you've been out being bold
You are the 5am exodus, you're the have you got a light
You're every new friendship that dies quickly in a fight
You are the prodigal son, hid in a phone box from the rain
You're in the shower Mondays whispering never again
You are the one with eyes that look like kids lost down wells
You're the last known secret, the friend that never tells
You are the straight through crew, not the time out crowd
I love my friends more dearly than I'm allowed to say aloud
