faking sleep just to rest your eyes
saw you napping at the back of the bus
it's common knowledge that we're all so tired
but your eyes just kept on falling shut
pint of lager at your local, hits right
weren't planning for any outburst
they say the summer only lasts for a while
but in the north, we make the best of what we've got
and at the ibis hotel, all of the blinds they were fastened shut
I'm sure they couldn't stand a sense of looking on out
in the field at the back of the town, they put up a gesture just to make you feel better
just goes to show you should always treasure those moments that we have together
in a moment it'll be just fine
I saw the fear creep on up your face
we gotta learn to make the most of these times
for every moment draws us back to a place
where we could all be swimming in wine
a cigarette, a campfire, oh it's bliss
down the cusp of a dirty mountainside
brought us closer to the ones that we now miss
and at the ibis hotel, all of the blinds they were fastened shut
I'm sure they couldn't stand a sense of looking on out
in the field at the back of the town, they put up a gesture just to make you feel better
just goes to show you should always treasure those moments that we have together
hush now, friend. take us back to a time that we love
take my hand, we'll be back in the pub soon enough

you're an artist, I'm a madman, on a collision course
thought we'd find a place in the southlands, after we break it to your folks
but to gain trust is an art form, to regain it is a chore
I thought I had you in my hands, I never held you at all
sleepy little town now, different visions from each side
I dreamt about you all day long, I guess the night tries to surprise
I'll raise my terms, he drops the heaviest heart he could hold
left me on the barstool, but burned his fingertips into the wood
but it still burns in my eyes, pure farcity of your love
I call your name forever, but I don't think that you could
you're an artist, I'm a madman, on a collision course
now a poet in the last leg, I never held you at all
