lyrics

~~~~~~~~~~

Met you at Majuba car park.
It’s dead cos the weather is shite.
Too cold even for a lemon top.
How are you always right?

You had so much to unravel.
The wind came and blew it away.
We walked as far as the penguins.
I ran out of things to say.

You say, “You’re never too old to start again.”
Not sure who you’re talking to.
Until I see myself reflected in wet tarmac,
Standing right next to you.

Here’s to the death of ambition.
We all want to do what is right.
I’ve only got enough petrol,
To get past Easterside.

And so I never got to tell you,
All those things I’d planned to say.
Didn’t know that would be the last time we spoke,
Don’t know if I still think that today.

But here’s to the death of a better life,
And to the holding on that you couldn’t do.
Weather’s still shite and it’s still so cold,
Colder still without you.

I don’t want to go to heaven.
I’m not afraid to die.
I just need one more second,
To say goodbye.

~~~~~~~~~~
