lyrics

Saturday morning, the memory’s grey
Computer asleep and still downloading the day
As soon as it hits her she started to choke
Stuck like a sliotar in the back of her throat
Life has been hanging since he went away
Leaving with so much left to say
She hasn’t been eating, her stomach is sick
Getting over the worst of it

We were the shadows
Under the streetlights up above
Chasing a feeling
Falling in love

Beneath the apartments on Sullivan’s Row
I still remember, what a hell of a show
To watch you arriving in February rain
Hiding your hand inside a pocket of pain
Walking around with your cards to your chest
You were so desperate to impress
I never thought we were falling apart
Now I’m finding pieces of you everywhere

We were the shadows
Under the streetlights up above
Chasing a feeling
Falling in love
We were so special
Love that you write up on a wall
How could you treat me like nothing at all?

Don’t let me down
Here on the freezing hard ground
If you’re only gonna watch me as I cry
This would be the perfect time to say goodbye
Surely you know this isn’t the way it should go
Stopping short of saying the storm will always pass
Keep your sermon dry for Sunday morning mass
