lyrics

Late nights. Back then. Your house. My friends.
A bunch of Elephants.

Silver descends as my memory box bands.
I'd breath it in again. I'd breath it in again.

Grey truths buried beneath stories.
We shouldn't talk about.
So I drift to leave. It seems my words have left me.
Left me on my own.

But I have always been far from home and the kids we used to know.
All those roads from the place we got to know.
My flesh turns cold to think of now.
My oh my how we have grown.
So overtired and undone.

Late nights. Back then. Your house. My friends.
I'd do it all again.

Shadows, echoes, left behind from the people, places in your life.
Secrets, truths and tiny lies they are kept in bags under our eyes.

But I have always been far from home and the kids we used to know.
All those roads from the place we got to know.
My flesh turns cold to think of now.
My oh my how we have grown.
So overtired and undone.

Shadows, echoes, left behind from the people, places in your life.
Secrets, truths and tiny lies they are kept in bags under our eyes.
I can't seem to help myself. There are times when I just lose myself.
When everything is fixed and done. I'm still tired but I'm not done.
