lyrics

do you remember when we used to talk friend, and play out in the sun,
our only problem was if you’re mum found, our imaginary guns.
we used to sneak downstairs to the kitchen, when everyone was asleep,
but then your dad came and caught us eating, man did you get beat

then your old man passed away, an I didn’t know what to do.
i know we were young but I should’ve stayed, and been there like a best friend should.

now we were all getting older, started bothering trees,
started noticing others daughters, and retching on cheap whiskey,
sneaking off in the summer, to meet some girls in a park,
before we knew what love meant, and indeed a broken heart.

yeah all of our clothes were baggy, when we went out in the dark,
to tell you the truth man I miss you lately, or I just miss being young.

menthols burning through raincoats, half cut, got lost on the way home.
old sheets covered in breadcrumbs, your mum was angry that we didn’t phone.

old bikes, broken and slighted, we came as explorers not fighters,
some days grassed up by brothers, a lot of work for poor single mothers.

nowadays we don’t talk much, but when you’re down mate you can stay,
the young days of borrowing suits to sleep in old halls, nobody gets that but you and me.
