Shoreline
Ever since I was eight or nine
I've been standing on the shoreline
Always waiting
For something lasting
Loose your hunger, you loose your way
Get confused and you fade away
Oh this town
Kills you when you are young
Oh this town
Kills you when you are young
I'm not the boy I used to be
This town has got the youth of me
All eyes turn hollow
From the work of sorrow
Mmmmmmm
Mmmmmm
Standing on the paving
By the office building
They've got so much to do
Never time for you
We are shadows
Oh we're shadows
Shadows in the alley
You die when you're young
You die when you're young
You die when you're young

Papercup words
I'll let it burn.
Words in a dirty paper cup.
And Im gonna turn, cause Ive had it with this place for now.
Im gonna find shelter where you can't call me, where you can't grab me.
If I got to choose, had the opportunity to switch location or set my mind on whatever I wanted to,
I would take it right away from you.
Words in a dirty paper cup.
And Im gonna turn, cause Ive had it with this place for now.

If I got to choose, had the opportunity to switch location or set my mind on whatever I wanted to,
I would take it right away from you.
You brought me in and you spoke in tongues about what lies within.
About your little fire.
You brought me in and you didn't even see how my tears ran.
I was too tired to listen to you then
Saturday night.
Youve got taste for fireside.
Its open mike at kings head downtown, but I can't manage to get myself there somehow.
A million reasons just to sit along here and speak to the telly and listen to your conversations
You brought me in and you spoke tongues about what lies within.
About your little fire.
You brought me in and you didn't even see how my tears ran.
I was too tired to listen to you then.
I'll let it burn, words in a broken paper cup.
