Song | My Kingdom For A Horse |
Artist | Frank Turner |
Album | Sleep Is For The Week |
Would you pick your clothes up, put your clothes on, | |
Pack your things and go? | |
I抦 tired of sinking this low. | |
Awkward semi-naked coffee conversations fade | |
Quicker than mistakes that were made. | |
Mornings when | |
I抦 coming down, being driven round the bend, | |
Make for days when | |
I抦 losing my friends | |
For all the little things that | |
I have done and cannot make amends. | |
Don抰 you ever kind of wish that the world would just stop? | |
That the band would pack up and the curtain would drop? | |
I抳e been stuck inside the same old nights, the same old days off, | |
And I need you now because | |
I can抰 get out of this. | |
Clean your mirrors, roll your notes out, | |
Put your cards away. | |
That抯 a game that | |
I don抰 want to play anymore. | |
My head is sore, my throat is raw, and what抯 more | |
I抦 fifty pounds down to feel empty and poor, | |
Remembering the things that | |
I believed when | |
I was sober and sure. | |
And I抦 trying to speak straight, | |
But I抦 drunk and | |
I抦 lonely and you won抰 believe me, | |
And I抦 trying to see straight, | |
But I抳e been up for days and it scares you away, | |
And I抦 trying to keep straight, | |
But I抎 trade it all for just five minutes more | |
Of your wandering hands with their simple demands that are | |
All the things | |
I ever wanted, better than the powder and pills, | |
All the things | |
I ever needed, the only thing that doesn抰 seem to kill, | |
That still makes me smile. | |
So if I tell you all the little things that | |
I think that | |
I need, Will you tell me how to tell the world from the woods from the trees? | |
Because I抳e been stuck inside my comforting familiar disease, | |
And I need you now because | |
I can抰 get out, | |
And all over | |
Europe the lights are going out, | |
And I抦 pulling down the curtain, but every time | |
I reach out | |
You抮e gone. |
Would you pick your clothes up, put your clothes on, | |
Pack your things and go? | |
I bǐng tired of sinking this low. | |
Awkward seminaked coffee conversations fade | |
Quicker than mistakes that were made. | |
Mornings when | |
I bǐng coming down, being driven round the bend, | |
Make for days when | |
I bǐng losing my friends | |
For all the little things that | |
I have done and cannot make amends. | |
Don yāng you ever kind of wish that the world would just stop? | |
