lyrics

Don’t be fooled by this behaviour
For we are not as you’d suppose
The heart is not a thing for breaking
And the mind is not a thing to lose
There’s every chance you should have taken
And every word you hoped to say
But we are not the bright young things
That we were only yesterday
I got knocked down not two weeks back
The motorbike and the closest of calls
And as I lay there, in the road
Well, I guess I had some time for thought
You see we court the ever-present dangers
Of dying young or growing old
And I’ll never answer all the questions
Which torment me when I’m alone
Now I’d hate to say I’ve been enlightened
When it’s nothing you’ve not heard before
But all the talk of past and hopes for future
Were left there on the ambulance floor
You know, I think I see this now that all we have it time
I finally think I’ve figured out what’s been missing from mine
So don’t be fooled by this behaviour
For we are not as you’d suppose
We strip back all the layers of bullshit
And get life back to its bare bones
Now all my friends are having babies
And I’m the one left all alone
So I’ll exhaust this hemisphere
Then see what’s happening down below
I drag my feet along Sword beach
The sun hangs heavy in the West
See this is where we put down markers
Yeah, they’ll say it’s where we were our best
So I embrace the unfamiliar
And I’ll take the lesser-travelled road
I say give in to your misbehaviour
And only answer to your rule
I’m not trying to change your outlook
I don’t have time but we all need friends
But if that’s the biggest you can dream
Then this is where our story ends
