Lyrics
They draw graffiti signs up and down the Seacombe Line
As the last train rattles its way down the coast
I sit, keep to myself, avoiding interactions,
cause kids these days scare the shit out of me
One passes by with a cigarette, Centrelink cheque
and an attitude that says “you owe me this”
I keep my head down low, focused on my shoes,
the girl approaches me and asked me what I had left to lose
I turn my collar up as the rain starts pouring down,
And barring divine intervention, what else could happen now?
And I guess I’ll just let the rain soak through my skin
What’s left to fight for? I’m always gonna let you win
So don’t call me at 3am again, I’ve got no way to get to you
So why don’t you ask him?
Cause its pouring rain outside, so I’m not leaving bed
You didn’t come when I needed you, so get the fuck out of my head
Out of my head
It’s so convenient to be absent when it suits you best
I have my faults, I’ll admit, but you’re the one who ran at the first sign of a test
I spent the last three years all alone, trying to forget the four that came before
and I’m finally comfortable enough to admit
That I’m better off alone
And I guess I’ll just let the rain soak through my skin
What’s left to fight for? I’m always gonna let you win
So don’t call me at 3am again, I’ve got no way to get to you
So why don’t you ask him?
Cause its pouring rain outside, so I’m not leaving bed
You didn’t come when I needed you, so get the fuck out of my head
Out of my head
