A Peak You Reach

(álbum: About A Boy - 2002)

No sign of life
Pulsing through these ageing veins
I bet at your age
That's easier for you to say
Forcing answers into questions
And worrying that she might stop breathing
On and on we sift through alphabets of life
That never get us anywhere, anyway
I'd like to feel we have the best intentions
I want you to know
That I know it's not easy
I want you to know
That I know it's not easy, easy, easy

Then there's a peak you reach
Out to somebody that's never even there
Somebody that you may hope that might care
For nearby health or distant welfare
I'm pleased to hear
That your warmth is not freezing
Yeah I'm freezing
Cold

I don't to be alone
Is that out of the question
I'd like a happy home
Is that too obvious
Quit being pushed around
And stand on my feet
And kick all these losers
Out of my street

I've been losing confidence in the heat
Just when I'm feeling the strength
I get weak

[Repeat]

That is the peak you reach
I wanted somebody
A peak you reach
That's never even there
A peak you reach
I'd like you to feel we've reached our peak
Peak you reach
