[Intro Wil] You taught me that anger could be useful You taught me that pain was never my fault [Verse 1] The streets are empty as shit And we just ride them like ghosts In the place where we live Weve got no where to go Pushbikes on the road We take flight with the crows The night sky above and tarmac below us The city lights are majestic off in the distance Over the roof tops we float Above the dreams of a suburban night We snuck out while my parents slept Take a ride and we We ride our bikes to the bay Take a walk of the wharf Sit on the edge and light a ciggie like a torch You turn and you talk to me, Im looking away Im listening to every single thing that you say You say The futures bright man, tomorrow is ours And there will come a day soon where we leave this town The clouds they start to gather and we get up and leave And were home before the dawn even touches the trees [Hook Wil] Im saying Its more than with your own life you are playing And I understand you My friend, Ive fucked up too But Im just saying, Im just saying [Verse 2] We always said that these suburbs were like cemetery You always said youd escape thats what you said to me You got away, not in the way that you thought Now Im walking down old tracks and Im looking for yours And in the middle of similar looking scenes As I step off from the gutter and gather the things I need Midnight light makes the night life look lifelike The antennas and tennis courts, this town is menopause And yeah I know my way around, and I could play it down The streets are like the back of my hand And memories abound but now its different Im different, the difference is that I visit I dont stick around, I dont even miss it I get a vision of a version of my highschool days Most weekends you would spend at my place Your face is in these streets and it haunts me now Thats why I struggle when I head homebound [Hook] [Verse 3] You always had your own rhythm To keep the comedy coming You were as close as a brother man I think of you often How you talked with a passion How you rationed you cash You stood six foot tall above the rats You had a habit of thinking you were the Smartest motherfucker in the room And it was generally true On the real you were a hero A friend of the highest order A companion when the girls that we chased Were all we thought of Whoever you are, wherever youre from We all get given time then its time to move on One day youre in the midst of it The next you are gone And if you think its different to that youre wrong Lifes an addiction, were all in the nod And its a beautiful dream so dreamer dream on Breathe in, remember everything from the start The end is the beginning, the beginning is past [Bridge] First thing I noticed was just how thin youd got Hot the powerful mind that you once held was lost And in the little corridor out of the corner of my eyes I saw your eyes close, the tired lines on your face grew [Hook] x2
