These words you're trying hard to live by
Get by, you'll never make it out with this smile
This way of living's gonna eat you up
This way of leaving will one day catch up
Waste time, thinking about the chance that I'll wake up dead
Wishing that I wasn't so badly fed
Leaving it to fate to change my life for me
Thinking in my sleep I'll write a symphony
Wild birds are flying as you drive by
This guy is always making out with this gal
This way of living's gonna eat you up
This way of leaving will one day catch up
Spillt wine, not mine, leaving everything I loved except this town
I never seem to get it right or write it down
I'll leave you to get by I've got to make it rhyme
I'll figure out a way to not get
So tired and lonely, so what it's only
It's only dying and I'm getting close
I'm not quite dying, you know how it goes
It's just the shakes make me comatose
The will to die or drive to the coast
So tired and lonely, so what it's only
It's only dying and I'm getting close
I'm not quite dying, you know how it goes
It's just the shakes make me comatose
The will to die or drive to the coast

Remember carving our names in the bricks
Remember putting them back in the walls
Remember lavender car you got fixed
When we drove to the Lakes to the waterfalls
Dropped your guard, you got sick
We sat in the yard with your goals
A job you didn't really pick
You said oh when it rises it falls
What am I talking about
I know it's not about you
What are you thinking about
Let's try something new
And every time I look into your eyes
I see the reason why we can't survive
This is a gunfight and I'm bringing knives
Into the rhythm of our lonely lives
We're ok, are we ok
Until the very end my moon and back
Until we're finally running out of tracks
Remember you taught me tricks you borrowed
To calm me down but then your cat
Got stuck in the tree chasing sparrows
The year before you left your flat
Tonight I'll go to Claremont Road
I'll walk two miles to where we sat
I'll find the brick is bearing load
I'll find the tricks are wearing out
What were we talking about
I know it sounded true
What were you thinking about
Finding somewhere new
And every time I look into your eyes
I see the reason why we can't survive
This is a gunfight and I'm bringing knives
Into the rhythm of our lonely lives
We're ok, are we ok
Until the very end my moon and back
Until we're finally running out of tracks
Until the very end my moon and back
Until we're finally running out of tracks

Taking A Break

I'm getting along it's my time to go home now
There's gonna be someone with something to say about it
I tried
Sleeping at the weekends
Take my medication
Break up with my friends
Give up the dissertation
Waste another day lying down and scrolling
Just no other way
Thank god for all this living
Alright, I can't help but feel
Maybe, I'm thinking of taking a break now
I think that I'll call it a day caus'
I'm drowning and the water is waist high
Maybe, I'm starting to think that I'm crazy
There's all these thoughts I'm having lately
I'm lying when I give you this fake smile
Oh no no no no
I'm too young I'm too old
It's too late to go out now
But you came in the room
you said you're dragging me out now
We had nothing to do
We got maccies and beers
You said "what's up with you?"
I said it could take years
To explain, even then
I'm not sure I understand
We went out in the rain
You said you'd lend a hand
I'm alright, I can't help but feel
Maybe, I'm thinking of taking a break now
I think that I'll call it a day caus'
I'm drowning and the water is waist high
Maybe, I'm starting to think that I'm crazy
There's all these thoughts I'm having lately
I'm lying when I give you this fake smile
Oh no no no no

Long Time Coming
02:57

I'm staying out in case your parents call
I wouldn't mind but Manchester gets cold
You quit your job and suddenly got cool
All of the grind I'm thinking I'm a fool
I waste all day, your mouldy basement flat
I kill the boredom with another Platt Fields walk
The Gallery had this empty room
It's been a long time coming
It's been a while my troubled soul
While we're out here waiting
for the sea to save us all
These streets all look the same
And I can't find my way back home
And look I can take the blame
But blame can be lonesome
Last night I parked up close to your old house
I got reminded of your fags and fishbowl
Remember trying to carry your couch
Two floors up thinking it's impossible
Remember cutting me a set of keys
Last night I went and walked up and down Salford Quays
When all we wanted was the peaceful life
It's been a long time coming
It's been a while my troubled soul
While we're out here waiting
for the sea to save us all
These streets all look the same
And I can't find my way back home
And look I can take the blame
But blame can be lonesome
It's been a long time coming
It's been a while my troubled soul
While we're out here waiting
for the sea to save us all
These streets all look the same
Now I can't find my way back home
And look I can take the blame
But blame can be lonesome
