Southsea

Lately have the hounds been at your door again?
But all they seem to do is ask for more again
Wasn’t this the life that you were dreaming of?
Is it getting better?
I still don’t feel like I am getting older
But recently, these doors let in the cold air
And I was thinking we could leave it all behind
Look into the new year
But now I’m really testing the water to see
If it’ll take me back to Southsea
But even if the river doesn’t ever wash you clean
It’ll feel better than it seems
Until then I’ll be floating with the tide
Treading water’s got the best of him
Can’t keep his head above the waves, forgotten how to swim
But I was hoping that you’d maybe let me in
For hope of fairer weather
Now I’m really testing the water to see
If it’ll take me back to Southsea
But even if the river doesn’t ever wash you clean
It’ll feel better than it seems
But until then I’ll be floating with the tide
(ooh
Yeah
Ooh
Yeah)
OUTRO
And did you think you’d be alone?
Did you think you’d be alone
As you burned in the fire?
And did you think the river wouldn’t ever wash you clean?
Our faith burning higher
So fall
Don’t be afraid of the white light
'Cause I’m to young to make it
I hope the tide will take me
