Sideline Songtext

von Jake Morley

Down this drink
Drink this town
Burn this paper
Smoke this town
Home to strangers
Thick with skin
Each a fortress
To live in

Find one love
One is here
Choose one face
Let one near
One is gracious
One is true
One is lonely
One is you

Even now as I try to push you away
I'm hoping I could stay a little while with you
But inside you'd just see my dust in a trail
Cos I'm running so fast away
If you can't commit to one
With others on your mind
You're gonna end up with none
On the sideline

All these souls
Just one place
Choose one smell
Choose one taste
Meet one here
Meet one's mum
Not quite right
Not so wrong

Even now as I try to push you away
I'm hoping I could stay a little while with you
But inside I could dance between drops of rain
Cos I'm running so fast away
If you can't commit to one
With others on your mind
You're gonna end up with none
On the sideline
All these hearts
All these minds
All these loves
All these lives
Think too hard
Look too long
One is waiting
One is gone

Even now as I try to push you away
I'm hoping that you'll stay a little while with me
But inside I've already boarded the train
Cos I'm headed so far away
If you can't commit to one
With others on your mind
You're gonna end up with none
On the sideline
