lyrics

(For Sam)

The whole city's shut down, and I'm the only one around
Walking home in the dark, wondering where you are
I've got six miles to go, my boots drum out a tattoo on the tarmac

And I haven't seen your face since I got home
I haven't seen anyone, it's easier alone

And she said 'nothing worth keeping ever happens that fast'
She learnt all of her lessons in the past
And I sat down on the staircase with my head in my hands
And I thought about leaving town, and never coming back

I talked to a friend after the funeral
And he said we were going nowhere fast
And we drank to Sam's memory, drank to our misery
Drank til there was nothing left for either of us to say

Nothing worth keeping ever happens that fast
We learnt all of our lessons in the past
And I sat down on the staircase with my head in my hands
And I thought about leaving town, and never coming back

About leaving town, and never coming back
About leaving town, I'm never coming back.
