Something Else

(album: where has everyone gone. - 2023)

We used to ride our bikes through the woods
Scratched my leg climbing through the bush
Like I knew I would
Most my friends barely get by
Getting high to pass the time
Close your eyes and say goodnight

But this old town's not the same
Like rainbows way before rain
There's no more sun in the sky
I've wasted half of my life
Stuck in the nail under thumb
I'm getting old but too young
To say goodbye
To say goodbye

I was stopped by the corner shop
LSVs or a can of pop
Stolen cash never mind
I spent every time
I just thought you'd never mind
My mum's still pissed and she rolls her eyes
You'll grow out of that petty crime
City life's not as cool as this old town of mine

But this old town's not the same
Like rainbows way before rain
There's no more sun in the sky
I've wasted half of my life
Stuck in the nail under thumb
I'm getting old but too young
To say goodbye
To say goodbye
