Years
The counterpoint is coming and it asks you who you're running from
So it seems we're gone, lost in time at a million to one
Fulfill me with your songs, acoustic guitars playing shallow fucking pop
Alone in the city when the light comes through the window
And the darkness falls within you and you're lonely again
But you have company in friends, a means to and end
Don't tell me that you don't need someone else to bring you down again
I've been where you're from, you get whatever you want
Fifteen tickets just to see a band you've never heard of
You're not judgemental but you let me down, please just come around
It'll kill me if I never hear you utter a sound
A colouring book with the pages torn out, filled with self-doubt
You never wanted me to leave you at the side of the street
But you took it upon yourself to do that to me
They'll never take you from me
They'll never make you eat your words
Just hold on, I am coming
Swallow your pride and feel it burn
In Manchester rain, she played me like a game
That made me feel like someone would ever feel the same
The bricks coming out of the wall on the mountain
Blocking out the sounds of everyone around you shouting
Talkin' 'bout the daily trawl in a lazy drawl
Then you ask for more, then you fall in love
Then it falls apart, and it's all a part of life
Or so they tell you, to pick yourself up, to let yourself down
That they've got a distraction, but it's not a solution
And you're filled with confusion as to what really matters
But it's not one or the other
It's a difficult concept and you don't want to accept it
The days that you spent on waiting for someone
They'll never take you from me
They'll never make you eat your words
Just hold on, I am coming
Swallow your pride and feel it burn
2017, you're never gonna bring her back
But look on the bright side, it was good while it lasted
2016, I guessed that she missed me
The start of your life and with people who listen
2015, that's the sound of somebody
With an air of jealousy, 'cause he really wants to be on the scene
2014, Paul McCartney wannabe
The disappearance of a student on the path to a C
2013, you haven't got music
There's a light at the end of the tunnel that you can't see
2012, reinvent yourself
A fresh start with friends who wanna give you hell
2011, have you ever been
Whipped on the back of the legs with a belt?
2010, the sorrowful memories
Of a happier time, living in the right frame of mind
2009, with a wide-eyed smile
2008, everything was grey
2007, things are looking fine
2006, living in a heatwave
2005, you opened your eyes
Came to see the world as it looks alive
2004, the open door
There's nothing about you to define
2003, my time is coming on
Lost in an alleyway like everybody
2002, man, you're barely a human
But you're gonna be bright and you're gonna be cool, man
2001, still seems that we're gone
Still lost in time at a million to one
2000, the towering houses
There's somebody out there you won't know until now
