Leaning On You

(album: Line By Line - 2018)

Sign your name
Take all the blame
You won't sleep till you've cleared this
Call up the bank, yeah
Speak to the man there
He told me he's taken care of things

Then do yourself a favour
Two months off for good behaviour
Here's your last chance of a summer
Shred that pile of papers
And take everything he gave you
This is where you leave that shore behind

Suzie
You're looking at open water
There's nobody leaning on
Nobody leaning on you
Blue skies
Don't give the clouds no quarter
There's nobody leaning on
Nobody leaning on you

Used up bills
In Casio tills
Tucked out of the striplight
We talk to ourselves
While they empty the shelves
We've just not got the appetite

An ashtray and a lighter
On the mattress there beside you
And that black book on your pillow
Tell me what you're writing
'Cause you know I'm nothing like him, don't you?
Now you've left that world behind

Suzie
You're looking at open water
There's nobody leaning on
Nobody leaning on you
Blue skies
Don't give the clouds no quarter
There's nobody leaning on
Nobody leaning on you

Nobody leaning on, nobody leaning on you
Nobody leaning on you
Nobody leaning on, nobody leaning on you
Nobody leaning on you

Oh, this lonely life
Can't do it without you, no lie
Whatever he throws we'll find an alibi
Close the door, we'll be alright

Suzie
You're looking at open water
There's nobody leaning on
Nobody leaning on you
Blue skies
Don't give the clouds no quarter
There's nobody leaning on
Nobody leaning on you

Nobody leaning on, nobody leaning on you
Nobody leaning on you
Nobody leaning on, nobody leaning on you
Nobody leaning on you

Don't give the clouds no quarter
There's nobody leaning on
Nobody leaning on you
