My fallen friend; the years have passed us by
So much just slips right through our hands
I’m thinking back to the night we’d skate by streetlight
Back then your eyes seemed so sure, this life could take you somewhere
We’d drink and laugh about the girls we thought we’d never get
All those nights throwing rocks and smashing bottles from that old town
leven train bridge
We watched the moonlight spark and flicker in our wake
We never walked this sinking ground; we never saw what was at stake
That sound, that drowning memory, we never felt
This world’s impossibility biting down on all we’d ever be
2004, both our parents split, and your dad he passed away
You moved miles down the southern coast with your new girlfriend,
You never told me her name
You used to speak of nervous starts
The smell of her perfume and gin
I swear I tried to remember your advice
That first time she called me in
If we truly are just stuck in our own heads
In this world offers just one certain thing
Why let it wear you down, why ever fear one thing?
Till death it sets you free
Don’t think don’t try
Be no one else tonight
Draw a breath and feel alive
