ATO - 2005 lyrics

And you could lose yourself in this world, easy I don’t want to regret that We never had a name for anxiety then, you said Whatever it was made me, me.. And on our bikes we used to take the shortcut through the graveyard Now i see your father stood talking to you there for hours And i haven’t asked him how he’s doing I haven’t visited coz i don’t know what to say, honestly Writing on a Monday morning This week feels like a mountain While i’m still trying to decide if its best to hide behind my eyelids And its cold When you’re gone you’re cold His weakness gives you strength Not always for good Drifting into hell You think i can’t see It’s over Like my boy from the corner Like mummies corolla Like those nights in paris Rip them off these four walls like posters Wonder if life is about staying true While watching the sky change on you Spread your wings or lose your inhibitions for a moment or two You’re floating If we make it through this We’ll make it through anything I spent too many night here, twisting and turning In the corner of a corner And when the truth capsizes Will you blame the tide or the timing She loves you regardless You feel alone in the darkness In the frame And if the way forwards is backwards Back down those country lanes Back staring through that window pane While the sun sets on all we made The bigger picture’s what we ran through And chose to leave behind Frustrating how the truth was the intention behind our divide Coz she’s got lots of love And she’s staring at you in the dark She got lots of words that’ve been tearing you apart Welcome to the end of the place you call home Made hell for the highs, to try and fall through a moment Your faithful eyes I just want to trust like you do Maybe I could stay there with you The world looks so unkind from up here though Hero These hands are trembling That word was heaven sent I smashed this mirror In one moment i reached for everything i’d ever felt These conversations Where we prioritise listening Until our words are genuine and relevant Still caught between two worlds That raised me and framed my ambivalence I still need that first line of space Repeated by a stranger I can’t confide in those too close who treat help As if it were a favour He’s outgrowing expectations and familiar faces Witnessed you throw him to the waves Just to try save him while he was drowning I’m floating If we make it through this We’ll make it through anything I spent too many night here twisting and turning In the corner of a corner And when the truth capsizes Will you blame the tide or the timing You love her, regardless You feel alone in the darkness In the frame And if the way forwards is backwards Back down those country lanes Back staring through that window pane While the sun sets on all we made The bigger picture’s what we ran through And chose to leave behind Frustrating how the truth was the intention was behind our divide I fall through It feels like you Everything You feel Coz she’s got lots of love And she’s staring at you in the dark She got lots of words that’ve been tearing you apart Welcome to the end of the place you call home Made hell for the highs, to try and fall through a moment Your faithful eyes I just want to trust like you do Maybe I could stay there with you The world looks so unkind from up here though Hero
