Looking back and I’m out on my own
Looking up and I know that I’ve grown
In time I might lead it alone
I’ll go back to where I once was, be the example ' cause.
Some things overstay their welcome
Some people don’t know when they’re beaten
Sometimes it’s harder admitting to the plans we make and to the big mistakes, oh
Change lanes, never know might happen
Brain dead and a body misshapen
Drip feeds and approximations
Everybody round here they won’t allow us to make a big old fuss of big things or brave men
Backdrops, or pictures, or paintings
Goodnight, till I see you again
The clock has stopped dead and
We’ll go by the sun instead and
Don’t speak, hold your tongue
in my house of cards
I’ll go on undeterred and
‘cause I’m a man of my word and
Don’t speak, hold your tongue
in my house of cards
Back and forth with fear and elation
Work it out it’s a simple equation
Well that train might just stop at your station
Jump right on and go, yeah
People come and go,
the places come and go
the time will come and go,
if you wanna juxtapose,
watch a forest overgrow,
a river overflow,
a body decompose,
Watch a mountain just plateau now
I know something’s not right here
And I know I’ve got no business here
I know I should just stay clear but the rope round my throat is pulling me deeper in
I know that you’ll be glad, that I’ve got nothing more to add
The clock has stopped dead and
We’ll go by the sun instead and
Don’t speak, hold your tongue
in my house of cards
I’ll go on undeterred and
‘cause I’m a man of my word and
Don’t speak, hold your tongue
in my house of cards
And I know it’ll come in time
And I know that there’s only light

Say No

He bought a ticket on a rainy day
And didn’t check it he threw it away
Because it didn’t matter anyway
At least, that’s what they say
He might have managed to do this or that
If he’d have moved from the place he was sat
But he had no idea where he was at
He feels much worse than before
Oh, why does it hurt him so
When he’s always the one to say
To say no
He’s making plans again you’d never know
As his mind is working so slow
And we all know that he’d never go
It’s true, we’ve seen it before
Oh, why does it hurt him so
When he’s always the one to say
To say no
It’s the land under his feet
And it’s moving like the sky
But he’s nobody to ask why
He bought a ticket on a rainy day
But didn’t check it he threw it away
Because it doesn’t matter anyway
He knows, it’s true what they say

The gold and greys are mixed together
No late nights and no ball games
We used to dance in all endeavours
Now I struggle to remember your name
Your good ideas aren't big or clever
And your ripostes are wearing thin
I'm growing old
Follow me and you'll go far
Metropolis guarantee
Pull over here stop the car
The devil has plans for me
