We were an hour the wrong side of the Avon When the old van gave up the fight You pulled your bags off the back seat Left me there, walked into the night Now I didn't mind picking up the pieces Sorting out the gear waiting for the light But standing there on the hard shoulder I ran out of strength to make things right We go back to school in the city First in line for the back of the class Or out on the field looking for the action Buried in a ruck with a punch or a laugh You left when you were fifteen I stayed on for the safety net It broke my fall that cold morning You were falling then have you landed yet? Now surprise no mystery What we are or where we're from Our lives our history In a song Now I got word you were working The bars and the pubs all along the coast Well I parked the car and I heard you singing SongtexteMy face at the window must have looked like a ghost Forget the stuff we wrote together No compromise you used to boast But hearing you play all that boy band cover trash Now that's what really hurts me the most No surprise, no mystery What we are or where we're from No life no history In your song You once said if you don't use it You'll wake one day find it gone Your guitar is standing in the corner Why don't you come around here prove yourself wrong We might be a little older now Ah you know the heart beat is still as strong And anyway I've got this hard shoulder now You might wanna lean upon Aus Songtexte Mania
