A Place To Hide (Edit)

When the sun finally gives in, it kicks and protests

In shades of neon to let you know it isn't finished

It always does that

As if it knows that nothing makes you feel worse

Than typing in grey letters followed by an ellipsis

Sometimes you just gotta let it chew you up

And spit you back out in rhyming triplets

One perfect sunset will see me right

One that sets behind the steeples and the spires of the old cathedrals

Its rock pools and cocktail bars, its pond life, the people

And I do miss it sometimes, what we had

Mostly when there isn't any music

But sometimes, understandably, when there is

Sometimes you need a room full of

Strangers to make you feel less alone

A place dark enough to make yourself unknown

Unknowable, but home somehow

A place to hide somehow

At least

At least that's how it feels

And I can't do this

You beat me to it

I hope you find your place to hide

I hope you find your reason

And I can't do this

Let's keep it moving

I hope you find your place to hide

I hope you find your reason

And still it beckons out there on the horizon

Languidly winking, letting me know that

It knows exactly what I'm thinking and

Laughs as my phone dies

Which is still the most traumatic thing we say like, all the time

And my head's fried

My head's fried in rum and ginger beer

My body heads inside but my mind stays here

I kinda thought I'd see you in here actually

It's the sort of night you used to like

And I do miss it sometimes, what we had

Mostly when there isn't any music

But sometimes, understandably, when there is

Sometimes you need a room full of

Strangers to make you feel less alone

A place dark enough to make yourself unknown

Unknowable, but home somehow

A place to hide somehow

At least

At least that's how it feels

Yeah

I love you all, man

Honestly, I do

Yeah, I think I needed this

Sometimes you need a room full of

Strangers to make you feel less alone

A place dark enough to make yourself unknown

Unknowable, but home somehow

A place to hide somehow

And I can't do this

You beat me to it

I hope you find your place to hide

I hope you find your reason

And I can't do this

Let's keep it moving

I hope you find your place to hide

I hope you find your reason

Sometimes you need a room full of

Strangers to make you feel less alone

A place dark enough to make yourself unknown

Unknowable, but home somehow

A place to hide somehow

At least

At least that's how it feels
