Newsy Neighbor

(album: Front Porch - 2023)

If you're not on board
But you're not around
Who's making calls
To shut us down?
There's no one home
Break through the ground
'Cos all these walls
Are coming down

That boy next door
We've met before
Newsy neighbours
In '73
Hook line, sinker
Mr. Stinker
You're gonna lie
Right next to me

When I hear my door ring
I always know it's him
On every single thing
He'll sit outside and wait
From morning till it's late
On birthdays or on dates

If you're gonna wait outside my door
I've got a message
For you

If you're not on board
But you're not around
Who's making calls
To shut us down?
There's no one home
Break through the ground
'Cos all these walls
Are coming down

I'm seeing the same game
They're all screaming my name
I need it off my mind
The rooms getting too loud
I need you by my side
I need you by my side
