Lyrics

Well we spilled out into the street,
there was stolen cars, but ours were borrowed feet.
There was a break in the moment and I was alone
with myself in the middle of the street,
and I felt tired, just like I was.

Just in case you’re wondering, so was I.
How’s a body find some peace of mind?
There was a sign of the time that I understood,
not a word of it a lie, and gods will cry,
just like I was.

Now more than ever I’m almost old,
I almost made it on time,
now more than ever a long eye looking behind.

Release the hounds, keep them coming,
replay the sounds, like a second coming.
You can fill me up, fool me now, tell me everything’s OK,
I wanna feel high, just like I was.

You can fill me up, fool me now, tell me everything’s OK,
I wanna feel high, just like I was.

Now more than ever, I’m almost old,
I almost made it on time,
now more than ever a longing eye look behind.
