lyrics

I've got to get out of this bar,
I've got to get out of this place.
I've got to be out of my mind
Just longing to see your face.

I've got to get up out of this hole,
I need some kind of plan.
Feels like I'm losing my soul,
Now I've got to do what I can to be okay,
Because tomorrow's another day.

Life is terminal, and it will claim us all,
So I don't have time to waste longing for a taste of what I thought you were.

I've got to get back on the road,
I've got to get out of this town.
Fallen leaves weigh down my load,
And the rain keeps bringing me down.

I've got to get back to the sea,
Let the salt flow through my bones.
With the waves crashing over me,
Feels like I can finally go home and be as one
With the things that I have done.

Life is terminal, and it will claim us all,
So I don't have time to waste longing for a taste of what I thought you were.

I refuse to starve to death until I kill the man who's starving me.
And as I stop to embrace my breath, I realise suddenly that I am free.
Free to live, and love and lose, and do all the things that I lost to you.
Man can always start again, now that's exactly what this man must do.

I've got to get out of this town,
I've got to get out of this place.
I've got to be out of my mind
Because I still miss you face.
