Losing Teeth

Album: Wishful Thinking (2014)

  • We couldn't wait for the days to get longer
    Spend nights sitting up, wasting away
    All the shit that we did when we were younger
    Think back and it feels like yesterday
    We were losing teeth
    Stayed up again last night, talk some sense to me
    But so it seems the time has come
    To pack your bags, close your eyes and run like I did
    If you do it first I'll follow straight behind you
    'Cause growing old is a waste of time
    To say goodbye is a waste of breath
    We'll stick it out 'til the bitter end
    I remember every night that we spent on the edge
    The cold warmth and the bitter taste that it left
    Young, dumb, and carefree and reckless
    But there's some method to the madness
    Passed out in the living room
    Moved on but I'll see you soon
    Bored now you're absent
    Back home there's still nothing to do
    Though we complained about it
    All was such a worthwhile waste of my time
    Each day and each night a memory
    Take care and please don't forget me
    Don't give a fuck what they have to say
    'Cause we'll just do it anyway
    And if I break a bone or it fries my brain
    We took a risk and laughed at our mistakes
    Give a fuck if we don't fit in
    We don't need them
    They don't know a thing about us
    All the times we shared
    The world at our feet and in the wind in our hair
    But some things must change
    And as much as I hate it
    It kills me to say our goodbyes as we turn the page
    And move on to the next chapter
    And hope it won't hold disaster
    Now the world's so big it seems
    But the blank white walls won't let me breathe
    And if the big wide world caved in tonight
    I'd see you on the other side
    Passed out in the living room
    Moved on but I'll see you soon
    Bored now you're absent
    Back home there's still nothing to do
    Though we complained about it
    All was such a worthwhile waste of my time
    Each day and each night a memory
    Take care and please don't forget me Writer/s: Benedict Barlow, Daniel Washington, Lloyd Roberts, Philip Thorpe-Evans, Sebastian Barlow
