lyrics
Oh it was just a lazy weekend
Every lunch we had was bread and beer
And packaged meat, and we couldn’t read what the label said.
We went off track to the small stone shoreline
We had a tourist map and those wooden pegs,
A sudden drop fell down the path split into the sea.
I want you to lead
That life you talked about,
Why is everything
Weighing you down
I was always so worried about you
I always thought that you’d just be gone
And I was shouting with my legs hanging over the rocks
Don’t be stupid don’t play with nature
Don’t be a child because I’m not your mum
You were so angry I could feel your silence cut
I want you to lead
That life you talked about,
Why is everything
Weighing you down
I was calling a white noise number
Just the sound of the sky at night
A television with the volume turned all the way down
I imagined you were in that Rockpool
The one I said it was too far to go
You couldn’t leave if the water came and got you in time
We always knew
That you’d be the first to go
You don’t have to shout
Just slip away slow
I want you to lead
That life you talked about,
Why is everything
Weieieieieieieieieieieieighing you down
