None of This 01:57
Do you remember that weekend in April when we drove through to the coast and the car broke down? The side of the road (Long way from home) Those early Summer nights I know I'll never forget it They say you're only as strong as your weakest link But I'm rusted through, eroded, build me new I miss those early Summer nights on a windy little beach I'm withering with time, but my friends keep me going We push each other on, will you help keep me strong? I've never drawn breath without feeling so weak But would I prefer those days of old? Or just the stories that we've told?

And I'm honestly completely amazed that we've made it this far without caving in To the pressure that's been mounting now for months It's been unbearable these last few days And I just can't keep up with everything that's become expected of me And I don't know if I can keep this going any longer I'm still struggling to find my feet I want to remind you now of how we talked for hours, but we don't talk for days I know that part of growing up is growing apart But I never thought things could change so fast The only thing that matters is that I'm happy with who I am And I know I could pay more attention to my best friends And I guess talking's not my forte and I often find it hard The fact that the people I'm closest to are the ones furthest apart And I'm honestly completely amazed that we've made it this far without caving in To the pressure that's been driving us apart It's been unbearable these last few weeks

I've been wandering these run down streets for years We were stuck in this boring little town With the same old motions gone through every single day We were bored and bold and young and unafraid And all these days drag on And the Summer felt so long All these times have flown right past I guess we knew it wouldn't last And our time was wasted on old friends Ones we don't even talk to any more And ones we didn't even talk to then But you'll still hear people say "I miss the old days" I guess they never thought about the truth of the matter Best friends will always stay And now all of the friends we use to know, have grown up and had kids of their own And all these times have flown right past I guess we knew it wouldn't last

Guesswork 02:48
Parting is such sweet sorrow but why does it leave such a sour taste in my mouth? You won't return the same as you were in that Summer in 2008 When worries were few and the Sun only shined I guess to move on is to grow, but maybe not this time Sit back, think back Accept the truth We were more than just friends, why did you have to change? What do you feel that you've gained? There was that night that we laid under the stars in your back garden Whilst our friends shouted profanities in the corner, drowning thoughts in a bottle of cheap rum Getting out of that small town where you were known and loved for who you were I've grown, I'm better without you I know I'm better without you I've grown, I'm better without you I hope I'm better without you
5.
Now I'm sure that I've walked these streets before The patterns I go lay etched in the floor This town is my home and I hope I'll always know where my heart lies As I survey the places I called home I push on and my feet crunch in the snow I'm sure I remember this place, though I've lost track of where I am Faded pictures, gathering dust Of the days that were When we walked these streets and everyone knew our names I wish we'd go back to that day

A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step But, every time I try, there's something there to hold me back Because time erodes like a wave cutting notches at the bottom of a cliff, threatening collapse Struggling to keep my head above water Maybe I'm not as strong as I thought I was, back at the start I'm eroding, withering, collapsing, rebuilding Lacking purpose or direction, these last few months have been breaking me down As I waste my time on those that didn't want my help Just fighting against me at every step And I feel myself crumbling They say you judge a man by the company he keeps But I'm just starting to reach the heights of what's expected of me Maybe if the coin was flipped you'd see my side
