lyrics

To trip and stumble up the hill from Holmesglen station
Getting caught in the magnificent torrential downpour
Looking back every fifteen seconds to check
And see if the man in the black jacket with the confident stride
Is keeping up and when I'm satisfied he isn't
I'll finally settle down and fall back into step
With nature and myself as though we somehow go together
Cos most days we're at odds with each other
And it's breathing down my neck
I'm running out of time to make a difference
To the world and to my future
Obscurity's the only place where I belong
And I haven't been proven wrong yet

Just keep walking on like we're not on death row
And look at your watch as though you have somewhere to go
The nights are too long yet I'm not getting enough sleep
And the cost of living's getting far too steep

The cigarette and coffee mornings feel too natural for my taste
Like I was born to have nowhere to go
When I wake up except back into my bed
And of course I go to class on a good day
If I didn't, what would be the point?
But what's the point anyway besides convincing myself
That I'm not a lazy wreck
I'm not doing a bang-up job and I procrastinate like
I've got something better to do aside from what I hate
But it's the things I hate that keep me in check
And we don't talk like we used to and it makes me feel like shit
Yeah we could get a drink but we don't talk like we used to
And it scares me half to death

Just keep walking on like we're not on death row
And look at your watch as though you have somewhere to go
The nights are too long yet I'm not getting enough sleep

And nothing feels right anymore
And nothing seems fun anymore
The nicotine that permeates the air is giving me a headache
Cos I had six smokes before we left
And my survival's feeling more like theft
With every day that I exacerbate one of my mistakes
And I can't say I feel alright
But I can't say that I wanna die tonight
I don't wanna die tonight
You save my life on a day-to-day basis
You save my life everyday and I love you for it
I love you for it
So please hang around
