  • When my face is all changed from the cruelty of age
    I'll still miss you
    In a dream, you forgave me and I almost did it myself
    'Til I woke back up
    I'm always procrastinating
    Evading the job of going through them boxes in the attic
    As long as they're in the dark
    There's a flickering spark we'd repair

    Just wanna talk to you
    Wanna talk with my best friend
    Wanna let go of everything that I carry
    Wanna shoulder some of yours instead
    I wanna hurt with you
    Hurt with somebody who understands
    Have the strength to truly like myself
    And have the love to take someone's hand

    I was down in the low lights, getting hounded by moths and dickheads
    Your uncle came in, I geared up for one on the nose
    He was somber and kind as I self-flagellated and groveled
    Told me to come back, but I cheated and it's over
    Shrinks somehow, link it all back to my upbringing
    But I don't want an excuse for my mess

    I just wanna talk to you
    Wanna talk with my best friend
    Wanna let go of everything that I carry
    Wanna shoulder some of yours instead
    I wanna hurt with you
    Hurt with somebody who understands
    Have the strength to truly like myself
    And have the love to take someone's hand

    I wanna talk to you
    I wanna talk to you
    Oh, I just wanna talk to you
    Only wanna talk to you
    Only wanna talk to you
    Only wanna talk to you, talk to you

    Seven years wrapped in youth's great love
    Picked me up and sucked the cancer from my bones
    Your old man loved me like a son he never had
    And I ate him outta house and home
    I have learnt and I will never stop learning
    My failures are my prized possessions
    I don't deserve to talk to you
    But I hope that I can root for you
    Give 'em hell, darling Writer/s: Sam Fender
