ABOUT THE TRACK

This track is an apology.

A week earlier I had written a different song about how good life was and how I'd try extra hard not to screw it all up from this point in.

I only managed a week before committing a mind shatteringly stupid act of self-sabotage... only seven days later.

LYRICS

Girl you know I'm gonna move home,
'Cos I can't get this shit sorted on my own,
And it's been a long time since I was sober.

You'll come around - maybe see me a bit?
We can talk like we did before all of this shit,
'cos it feels like this could be over.

I can see you walk in,
Just look how fast I'm falling,
You take time and you'll get older and
You'll believe the things I told you.

Tell me what it is I have to prove,
'cos I won't flinch baby,
I won't move until this weight comes from off your shoulders.
See there's one sure thing I will never forget,
Beside the one sure thing I will forever regret,
It feels like summer just got colder.

I can see you walk in,
Just look how fast I'm talking,
You take time and you'll get older and
You'll believe the things I told you.

Girl you know I'm gonna move home,
'Cos I can't get this shit sorted on my own,
And it's been a long time since I was sober.

You'll come around - maybe see me a bit?
We can talk like we did before all of this shit,
'cos it feels like this could be over.

I can see you walk in,
Just look how fast I'm falling,
You take time and you'll get older and
You'll believe the things I told you.
