The Real Damage
(专辑: The First Three Years - 2008)
I
woke up on a
sofa in an unfamiliar house, Surrounded by sleeping folks that I
didn't know. On failing to find my friends, I
decided that it was clearly time to go. So I
made my way out of the
door as quietly as I
could – There was no one there I
knew to say goodbye – Squinting in the
sadly sobering sunshine of the
Sunday morning light. I
started the
night with all my friends and I
ended up alone, Oh yes I
started out so happy now I'm hung-over and down. It was about then that I
realized I
was half-way through The
best years of my life. So I
scanned the
local landmarks, trying to find out where I
was, And maybe even find a
bus back home. I
was longing for a
shower, and for clean sheets, and a
charger for my phone. And suddenly it hit me that I
got paid this Friday last And so I
rifled through my pockets for some change. But all I
found was a
packet of broken cigarettes and sinking sense of shame. I
had to ask myself, well, Is it really worth it? Is any of this worth it? Well the
whole thing's far from perfect, But I've yet to figure out a
better way to spend my time. Too many suits and dirty looks made me rack my brains, And the
real damage started to sink in. It'd been quite a
heavy weekend, but I
could just about remember where I'd been. I
stood on a
street corner, and I
felt a
little sick. It was about then that I
realized I
was half-way through The
first day of the
week.
