Shoreline

Ever since i was eight or nine
I’ve been standing on the shoreline
Always waiting
For something lasting
Loose your hunger, you loose your way
Get confused and you fade away
Oh this town
Kills you when you are young
Oh this town
Kills you when you are young
I’m not the boy i used to be This town has got the youth of me All eyes turn hollow
From the work of sorrow
Standing on the paving
By the office building
They’ve got so much to do Never time for you
We are shadows
Oh we’re shadows
Shadows in the alley
You die when you’re young
You die when you’re young
You die when you’re young
