lyrics

I’ve got so much to tell you
I don’t know where to start
This here life of mild manners ain’t like the reality of my heart
But all the things I wanna tell you are all the things you never ask
The backyard’s all grown over still I refuse to cut the grass
Oh and now it’s growing round my door
Guess I just wanted to be sure that you didn’t want me no more
 
There were tears on my pillow when I woke up from this dream
Memories of a life long ago and things I still can’t quite believe
Oh but now that I remember
Now must I forget?
For all the things we discard for all the things we ain’t found yet
Take a bow, we must leave them in the past
And go and find our new beginnings knowing full well they won’t last 


Well, I wrote you a letter
I didn’t send it for a year
I guess I didn’t want to rush you with things you didn’t want to hear
Not that it’s important
In fact it’s all quite plain
Little Dimi’s getting bigger
And old Maz is still the same
Anyhow, your silence makes it clear
This old world ends with a whimper and we both just disappear 

Cos I got so much to tell you
I don’t know where to start
This here life of mild manners ain’t like the reality of the heart
But for every seed that’s planted and for every leaf that falls
You know you sure got nothing when you once had it all
Oh and how, why did I hold on to it for?
Guess I just wanted to be sure that you didn’t want me no more
