Shoreline

Ever since I was eight or nine

I've been standing on the shoreline

All my life I've been waiting for something lasting

You lose your hunger, and you lose your way

You get confused, and then you fade away

Oh, this town kills you when you're young

Oh, this town, it kills you when you're young

I'm not the boy that I used to be

This town has got the youth of me

All the eyes turn hollow

From the work of sorrow

Oh, this town kills you when you're young

You die young, you die when you're young

You will die when you're young

We are shadows, oh, we are shadows

Just shadows in the alley

You die young, you die when you're young

You will die when you're young

We are shadows, oh, we are shadows

Just shadows in the alley

I've got nothing, nothing to wait for

Nothing to wait for

Where is life in this town?

Where is life in this town?
