lyrics

Lyrics:

it was the longest time
the coldest year
the longest time we'd shed no tear for the homes we left behind

you lived your life in just three years
you spent every night down by the pier

hiding every folly in the evening show
empty seas are all you know
how can you be oh so certain
when you spend every night behind the curtain?
wasting away while you pretend
wasting all the time you'll afford to say
hello
hello
hello

kept up by your lost ideas
you'll keep them close you'll keep them near
hiding from a life that you'll never know
this rift that's here is gonna grow

now go
just go
just go
just go

kept up by your lost ideas
you'll swallow them down in drunken fear

songs that keep you wide awake
in a house that never seems to shake
written by a face that you always make
these sounds you hear will never take

so go
just go
just go
just go

a stiff
upper lip
you've got the patience of a sinking ship

so go
just go
just go
just go

no end in sight
a victim of a quiet night
a stiff upper lip
youve got the patience of a sinking ship

so go
just go
just go

you'll go
you'll go
you'll go
you'll go
