Things I Thought But Did Not Say

Face to phase, my new days
I’m just drunk, I’m bones, I’m timber, let’s go home
In seven days, what a change. That’s the truth
Half a plate to use, this isn’t home

90 miles for friends, for smiles then home
Manchester was my escaping place, I had a break, I tried
I got relationship counselling from strippers
It wasn’t great advice, but I’ve since got here

Hold on, you’ve got a plan for me, I’m going to take it anyway
Sign up to Facebook, make a fake profile and start talking to myself
Well, that’s advice

Drive in the dark in the rain to a place I know
Drive in the dark in the rain to a song I know
These moments might seem the same, but they’re different though
Soundtracking places I’ve been. It’s these moments I love

I could say that I don’t need it, and that might be, but I’m stable to the core
Then I can’t rely on the cinema or a book for my escapism.
Feeling “If I know what I needed, didn’t know it until today”

Making lists for the future, there’s still a lot of things to do here, sure
Do you see past the summer? Getting closer to each other, forewarned

And a new day, to another day, another change to see a smile for you
In my little house, the duvet wrapped around
Listening to a playlist for this moment, the one I’d hoped I’d never needed
And if I could go the start I would and make myself a better world
But if I don’t then I’ll stick with it, because I’m a good guy and there’s no limit.
I hope we orchestrate this well

It seems to do it wrong, if you are opening your arms
I think you’re meant to this again if it goes wrong, you’ve got to just shrug your shoulders.

And if I don’t know then I’ll just break up, I’ll keep going one way then the other till I make it work

We’re all being that age, we growing up but there’s no stages
And it makes want to go and it turns them all around
If you could say it’s something right to do.
