And the blue night air
It breaks on, sleepy town
And I need you here
just to pull me down
Hear the gossips breed
And ambition rot
Hear the bugs still feed
on what time forgot
Still I need you too
Come and find my heart
Come and hold me through
all these cold remarks
No more lonely nights
Please, I beg the sky
I’m so scared of heights
and I feel so high
This isn’t London man
Just suburban cloaks
Where the lovers grab
at each others throats
If I make my stand
Will the weeds still grow?
Where the teardrops land
and no one knows
It’s one step forward
But then two steps back
My words so awkward when my hearts attacked
It’s so quiet out here
On these empty streets
But I can’t disappear where no one breathes
I can feel you call
All my silent friends
With our names on walls
and our raw pretence
I’m still holding out
I’m still fighting hard
But it’s shouting loud
from embittered scars
This isn’t London man
Just suburban cloaks
Where the lovers grab at each others throats
If I make my stand
Will the weeds still grow?
Where the teardrops land and no one knows
