lyrics

It's sad to hear you when you speak suburb names like blasphemy
You don't know what you're saying

It's just a strait of bitumen separating us from them
But it may as well be an ocean

This river ain't so hard to cross, but it leaves me feeling lost
Like a journalist reporting on foreign civil unrest
And I could learn these cul-de-sacs - still I'd never fell relaxed
'Cause part of me knows that there will be no going back

Is there a point to persevere when there's nothing for you here?
You don't want a ring on your finger
No promises are to be said - turn away with nothing left
Just soft kisses on your forehead

This river ain't so hard to cross, but it leaves me feeling lost
Like a journalist reporting on foreign civil unrest
And I could learn these cul-de-sacs - still I'd never fell relaxed
'Cause part of me knows that there will be no going back
