I’m a number at home, you’re a number abroad
I don’t know what to do
But I’ll remember your face, any time any place
If it’s the last thing that I’ll ever do

I’ve been staying up late fighting figures with crosshairs
And sometimes you’d come to mind
I’ve been praying you’d wait finding reasons in nowhere
And sometimes they’re hard to find

I’ve been forgetting dates, dusting bookshelves with cobwebs
And that’s when you tried to s

So here you are again
The walls are closing
I’m on the outside looking in, a world between us
Left alone I’m prone to spend my life on the edges
No gangs and no defence

Sit myself down (down!)
Take the gun from my head
Crack my thoughts wide open
It’s our surviv

I remember the streets unfolded like a map
I was in the oldest part of the city
My mother told me stories of when she was a child
As we watched clothes dry on a balcony
And there was a choir singing gospels loud and clear
Oh no, I didn’t know how to feel
That was the last

I heard your ma cried louder than a church bell
When all the new flames got doused by stormy seas
I spent my time pining for a love song
Well I'll be home... Home in time tonight

I think the sad thing is that you'll leave without a fanfare
You'll hit the road pal, leave you

Hold me close, I know it’s freezing
Toes are numb. The sun is bleeding
Through the broken blinds in your free house
Oh, I know it’s moved so quickly
The floor - it shook
You fell into me
Every moment makes me lose my breath

So hold me close in the back room of your

Don’t wanna be a hero
Don’t wanna save the day
Just wanna walk in the hills with my dog, not the streets of LA
Don’t wanna be a rockstar. Don’t need the crowds to scream for me
Just wanna lay on in bed with my girl, she’s all the crowd I need

Don’t wanna be another lost sou

Let’s take a shortcut down Marrowbone Lane
No, I don’t sit in traffic these days
‘Cause when my sirens flash loud and cold cars break from their moulds

These are the things that I know will not let me go
These are the things that I know shape the edges of that old soul

Wh

They’re looking up their skirts and they’re asking if it hurt when they fell
What’s an angel like you doin’ in hell?
They wore their one good shirt, now they’re rolling in the dirt
And the blood and the beer
Just get me out of here
I’m running for my life before they cut me d

I don’t have the strength tonight
I got sick one too many times
I’ll wear a mask and I’ll smile until you see my bloodshot eyes

You said: If home is where the hate is then rest your head on me
You cleaned me up, you carried me
How can I repay this generosity?
You said:

It's pumping out of my radio
I see it on my T.V. screen
I hear the words: I'll love you forever
I forget what they mean

Cause we fall together
Or we fall apart
Any way you sing a love song
It'll end up with a broken heart

I'm happy when you don't answer

I’ve been lost for weeks but that’s alright
I’ve lived from my knees but that’s alright

I’ve had songs and stories of life
Nothing I shouldn’t have tried

Darling I could wish on a falling star
But it’d do fuck all and I’d look like a prick
Darling I could cross every
