[00:00.000]	作词 : Joey Batey/Madeleine Hyland
[00:01.000]	作曲 : Joey Batey
[00:05.794]	The wrinkles and bricks that we’re left with at last (I’m at the brink, don’t laugh)
[00:09.575]	And drink will fix all those questions unasked (At the winks I’ve masked)
[00:13.171]	Who died? And made you king of it all (Who’ll save you when you fall?)
[00:19.583]	Now the wind is so warm on the back of my neck (Who wins this war? You’ve a knack)
[00:22.942]	As we walk with the sun hand in hand from the wreck (For applause from the back of the stalls but you lack)
[00:26.259]	Some fictions we took to mean fate believe me I know (The conviction to look at me straight and say yes)
[00:32.833]	Tell the truth to me love, does my hair look as nice (Don’t be uncouth, be a man)
[00:36.284]	As it did when it once tangled up in your eyes? (Don’t lie with your eyes, you know I despise that look)
[00:39.815]	Look at me as you say this, don’t look at your phone (You’re home. For God’s sake I’m)
[00:46.335]	Cos that sun that beams down as my hands touch the grass (Done with your dreams, they won’t last)
[00:49.652]	After summers of fasting I feel hunger at last (Thirty winters will pass, you’ll look back)
[00:53.040]	For the person fifteen year old me would be proud to have known. (At the woman fifty year old you will be proud to have known.)
[01:25.970]	Cos these plates they smash like waves
[01:29.901]	(Place your smile in mine)
[01:33.170]	And the wine stains hide the tears
[01:36.515]	(Why stay? Hide the)
[01:39.431]	But that breathing you hear don't mistake it for sighs (breathing you hear don't mistake it for sighs)
[01:42.855]	Don’t you realise - They’re just battle cries dear
[01:52.757]	And these lines aren’t wrinkles dear heart
[01:56.488]	(Hardly knew the words)
[01:59.934]	They’re just dollops of paint on a new work of art (I’m dolled up love don’t I deserve to just)
[02:06.103]	And as I walk away I know that I’ve been through the wars, (walk away I know that I’ve been through the wars,)
[02:09.417]	But that creaking you hear in my bones is not pain, it’s applause
[02:26.093]	With you I could summon the gods and the stars (Come on love, please don’t start)
[02:29.654]	Watch them dance out the plays that we wrote from the heart (Sing your notes, play your part, then we’ll leave.)
[02:32.820]	And we’d laugh at the ghosts of our fears.
[02:35.202]	(We were gods)
[02:35.977]	We were kids.
[02:39.698]	‘Come at me you blaggards’, you’d yell from the banks (‘Come at me your blaggards’, you’d yell from the back of the gallery)
[02:42.751]	Wielding words against make-believe wizards and tanks
[02:46.016]	And by god love believe me, I wanted to play too, I did. (Say goodbye. I am not)
[02:53.405]	But we sunk into water no creature can know (A drunkard, A daughter, A preacher, god knows how you)
[02:56.177]	You dragged me along to watch all your shows (dragged us both into the darkness that grows)
[02:59.613]	Our devils broke rank (M: Oh dear God), and out of the depths came an army
[03:04.935]	I won’t let you turn our last night into this (I won’t leave without a fight)
[03:09.479]	I’m going to binge watch a box set, drink wine, reminisce
[03:12.797]	This isn’t a break up dear heart, it’s a season finale.
[03:46.132]	Cos these plates they smash like waves
[03:49.960]	(Place your smile in mine)
[03:53.083]	And the wine stains hide the tears
[03:56.482]	Why stay? Hide the
[03:59.289]	But that breathing you hear don't mistake it for sighs (breathing you hear don't mistake it for sighs)
[04:02.469]	Don’t you realise - They’re just battle cries dear
[04:12.625]	And these lines aren’t wrinkles dear heart
[04:16.383]	Hardly knew the words
[04:19.795]	They’re just dollops of paint on a new work of art (I’m dolled up love don’t I deserve to just)
[04:26.103]	And as I walk away I know that I’ve been through the wars, (walk away, I know that I’ve been through the wars,)
[04:29.188]	But that creaking you hear in my bones is not pain, it’s applause
[04:33.936]	It’s not pain it’s applause
[05:16.930]	All it took to unearth in the dust and the dirt
[05:20.137]	Some release or respite from the heat and the hurt
[05:23.448]	Was taking the time now and then to ask how I am
[05:30.056]	And now at the end, (M: at the end of all things)
[05:33.917]	I’m not going to scream, beat my chest at the wind,
[05:37.383]	I’m doing fine.
