The Feelers - Southgate lyrics

It's so hard to close me in, and in a way it's wasted time We were running out, scared of falling out Tired of breaking out, tired of getting out (I took a pen and I drew in your temple) These designs are for you my dear, To alleviate your swelling tears Would you even know if/ that I was here? (I care, I care) To watch your tears fall down like rain I'm glad I left it all behind the tattoos and the piercing And teh everyday grind I had the courage we saw the arms race There were threads that stitched us all together I'm washed away. Motion pulling, forward, backward You were calling I was distracted
