You're running out
Of reasons why you should stay here in this town
I can see
You're gonna leave but I wish you'd stick around
Would we just be
Strangers if we met up down the road
I couldn't find the words
But if you saw it in my eyes then you would know
I'm speaking loudly but I'm not saying anything at all
I'm speaking loudly but I'm not saying anything at all
You walk down this road until you find home
You walk down this road until you find home
You walk down this road until you find a home
You walk down this road until you find a home

Stay

The road forms a line in the sand
Over the hill
Over the land
The sea has made a divide between you and I
You're all that I've ever known
But you've never really felt like home
Oh you know the reasons why
You know the reasons why
I can't stay
I remember those days with you
My memories tangled up in blue
It's 31 degrees and I
And I'm up again
Now I'm saying things I don't even mean
My mind's burst at the seam
Oh you know the reasons why
You know the reasons why
I can't stay
Give me time
Where would I run to but you
Sleepless nights
It's been this way since June
Given time
I don't know where I would be
You know that I'll be fine
Walking these far away streets
And now far past the borderline
I'm changing my mind
I'm leaving all the time
But don't worry, I'll be fine
Don't worry, I'll be fine

Walk by your lonely wall
Faint from the empty cold
You’re post-apocalyptic
But in a good way
It took so long to see you
But you say it’s ok
I don’t know
I don't know
What it is I’ve lost
Waking up to nothing
Feels like it’s the end
If we can’t survive as strangers
Can we try being friends
I don’t know
I don't know
What it is I’ve lost

June 17th I missed my flight on the way back home again
Spent a few days in a northern state
We were so much older then
We were so much older then
25 years in the making
What's it gonna take to lose
25 more years on this earth
But not like I just did
But not like I just did
Wait
Don't wanna miss my flight again
Cos I've been waiting all these years
Can't wait to see your face again
All my things in boxes
Lined up in a row
Tell me should I stay here
Cos I think I've got to go
I think I've got to go
Wait
Don't wanna miss my flight again
Cos I've been waiting all these years
Can't wait to see your face again
Slow
I'm running through this terminal
Don't let me hear that final call
until I hear it I'll be yours
This makes a mockery of us and time
Will you save me a spot in the line
I'll be there in a little while

Everything I own fits in the back of my car
I'm driving south
Going home
Sydney's like another country though it's not so far
I'm leaving town
Going slow
I don't need another pair of helping hands
I'm doing all I can to pay my dividends
We should sit here watch the waves sometime
Sitting in the car park looking at the runners
You said that you wanna be someone in the game
Just take a breath
Get some air
I remember times you said that you needed to run away
But you stayed there
You stayed there
I don't need another pair of helping hands
I'm doing all I can to pay my dividends
We should sit here watch the waves sometime
Sitting in the car park looking at the runners
Run by

All My Days

Come and make your home with us
Oh I'd hate to have to catch the dust
Watch my metal world all turn to rust
Stay here, I'll wait
Wait here all my days
If money gets a little tight
It's fine cos we'll be staying in tonight
Maybe reappear again sometime
Oh I've dreamt about these days
In my dreams they felt less grey
All this time I've been caught up in my mind
Oh I let myself down
I'm dragging my feet through these halls I've walked before
I'll always open the door
And I'm afraid of what I will find
Cos I'm always looking ahead in time
I'm afraid of what I will find
Cos I'm always looking ahead in time
Where are you now?
I'll try to see you again under these western skies
You'll disappear
Another morning flight
Stay here, I'll wait
All my days in vain

Lovely suffragette
Did you live your eighty years without regret?
But did you tear up notes you wish you'd never read?
Lonely suffragette
We're grateful for everything you've ever said
And we miss you each winter we're not in NZ
Since 2015 when we heard that you were dead
Are your flowers still in bloom?
Did they redecorate your room?
I said some words
Then we sang another verse
Now the matriarch is gone
So long
Long gone suffragette
I write to you five years after your death
I don't think I'll ever forget
Does the creek still run?
Does the creek still run?
Does the creek still run?
