Lyrics

I’m off for a drink do you wanna come with me
I’m buying so don’t say No
Both of us freezing The wind is a howling
We gotta get out of this snow
Kenny’s a barman he works on a Sunday
Put up your collar let’s walk
I’m glad that I met you you’re just what I needed
I been wandering around in the dark
What’s the worst that can happen?
So you’ll have some regrets
You remind me of someone
I don’t wanna forget
Back in the day when I used to be alive
Duck and dive
A man in a stairwell might be dead but I can’t tell
Is it a warning sign ?
I think he was breathing I think he was bleeding
I got that image stuck in my mind
You get the drinks Saul I’ll make the phone call
And hit the ATM
If you’re in for a penny you’re in for a pound
Roll up that dollar my friend
There’s snow on the ground
Snow in my head
I won’t act my age and I’m easily led
Back in the day when I used to be alive
Duck and dive
At this bar room confessional
Were putting the world to rights
Like Connolly and Collins we concur
We talk about our heartbreaks and the women in our lives
You read me poems that you wrote for her ( kinda weird )
I need a drink do you wanna come with me ?
I hate to go it alone
Feels like the start of a blockbuster movie
Starring two complete unknowns
I know this barman over the east side I’m calling a cab so let’s roll
Revisit the past Burn out fast
And get all out of control
See It’s 7am I can barely talk
Let’s get out of this place
While I can still walk
Back in the day when I used to be alive
Duck and dive
