[Intro Wil]
You taught me that anger could be useful
You taught me that pain was never my fault
[Verse 1]
The streets are empty as shit
And we just ride them like ghosts
In the place where we live
We've got no where to go
Pushbikes on the road
We take flight with the crows
The night sky above and tarmac below us
The city lights are majestic off in the distance
Over the roof tops we float
Above the dreams of a suburban night
We snuck out while my parents slept
Take a ride and we
We ride our bikes to the bay
Take a walk of the wharf
Sit on the edge and light a ciggie like a torch
You turn and you talk to me, I'm looking away
I'm listening to every single thing that you say
You say "The future's bright man, tomorrow is ours
And there will come a day soon where we leave this town"
The clouds they start to gather and we get up and leave
And we're home before the dawn even touches the trees
[Hook Wil]
I'm saying
It's more than with your own life you are playing
And I understand you
My friend, I've fucked up too
But I'm just saying, I'm just saying
[Verse 2]
We always said that these suburbs were like cemetery
You always said you'd escape that's what you said to me
You got away, not in the way that you thought
Now I'm walking down old tracks and I'm looking for yours
And in the middle of similar looking scenes
As I step off from the gutter and gather the things I need
Midnight light makes the night life look lifelike
The antennas and tennis courts, this town is menopause
And yeah I know my way around, and I could play it down
The streets are like the back of my hand
And memories abound but now it's different
I'm different, the difference is that I visit
I don't stick around, I don't even miss it
I get a vision of a version of my highschool days
Most weekends you would spend at my place
Your face is in these streets and it haunts me now
That's why I struggle when I head homebound
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
You always had your own rhythm
To keep the comedy coming
You were as close as a brother man
I think of you often
How you talked with a passion
How you rationed you cash
You stood six foot tall above the rats
You had a habit of thinking you were the
Smartest motherfucker in the room
And it was generally true
On the real you were a hero
A friend of the highest order
A companion when the girls that we chased
Were all we thought of
Whoever you are, wherever you're from
We all get given time then it's time to move on
One day you're in the midst of it
The next you are gone
And if you think it's different to that you're wrong
Life's an addiction, we're all in the nod
And it's a beautiful dream so dreamer dream on
Breathe in, remember everything from the start
The end is the beginning, the beginning is past
[Bridge]
First thing I noticed was just how thin you'd got
Hot the powerful mind that you once held was lost
And in the little corridor out of the corner of my eyes
I saw your eyes close, the tired lines on your face grew
[Hook] x2
