Lyrics

Just eleven years have passed
Since the time that I was last
Able to call this place my home
Why are memories monochrome?
This town looks so familiar
Yet different at this time of year
The pavement littered with the ghosts
Of promises and broken oaths
Every single step I take
Reminds me of a past mistake
And every corner that I turn
Another lesson never learned
The closed down shops, the burnt out cars
They boarded up our favourite bars
The past is hard to visualise
There's nothing here I recognise
I swore to God I wouldn't die in these streets
I guess you're gonna make a liar out of me
I swore to God I wouldn't die in this town
But here I am, I'm back again and my pulse is slowing down
Is this the place where I grew up?
Was that block of flats our local pub?
This hallowed turf, this sacred ground
Where I had my first paper round
These suburban archetypes
These streets we learned to ride our bikes
Coming back is so surreal
I swear this used to be all fields
The world looks very different now
Smaller than before somehow
We're grown men now with families
Jobs and responsibilities
I swore I'd never come back here
But after everything we've seen this year
There's one thing that I guarantee
There's nowhere I would rather be
I swore to God I wouldn't die in these streets
I guess you're gonna make a liar out of me
I swore to God I wouldn't die in this town
But here I am, I'm back again and my pulse is slowing down
This hallowed turf, this sacred ground
This hallowed turf, this sacred ground
This hallowed turf, this sacred ground
This hallowed turf, this sacred ground
I swore to God I wouldn't die in these streets
I guess you're gonna make a liar out of me
I swore to God I wouldn't die in this town
But here I am, I'm back again and my pulse is slowing down
I swore to God I wouldn't die in these streets
I guess you're gonna make a liar out of me
I swore to God I wouldn't die in this town
But here I am, I'm back again and my pulse is slowing down
