LYRICS:
Bury my bones in a northern town,
By the banks of the river where we used to plan our lives away,
Give my soul to the sea on the south coast where I’ll be washed out,
And never seen again.
Because my thick blood struggles with a worn out sense,
At the end of my youth is a picket fence,
And I’m not afraid.
Like a ghost made of skin and bones,
Gripping on tight to the undertones of our lives,
Grip tight.
So will you come back down to our level,
Remember we are in this together,
No matter what comes around our way,
I’ll be right here with you.
Come back down to our level,
Remember we are in this together and,
No matter what comes around our way,
I’ll be right here with you.
I was drinking with an old friend,
And it felt easier to pretend everything’s okay,
I surround myself with a wall so cracked
That at any moment it could fall and collapse away.
And my head’s battling while my heart abstains,
I’m holding it together with these condescending traits,
I feel ready to understand the need to be myself more these days.
I’ll be myself.
Take back what you disregarded,
And hold on to the dear departed,
You never know what you’ve got until it’s gone.
Hold on,
Be strong,
Don’t be afraid to get things wrong,
We all get a little self-destructive sometimes.
Remember we are in this together,
Remember we are in this together,
Remember we are in this together.
