Daisy Hill

More Than Life

Why do I lie to myself and still pretend 
I don't remember every second of every hour 
That we ever spent together, 
Your blood red cheeks in the cold
I beg you. follow me home 
There's no cars on the drive 
All the house lights are out. 
I know it's been a while 
Since I got your train 
But it's been longer since you got mine 
And I never said a thing. 
Daisy hill, so easily you always get to me, 
I can hardly breathe
At the end of the street I swear I saw myself 
Walk in front of the road 
And with a flash of I light I was gone, I was fucking gone. 
In my dreams why is your house number upside down, 
Why do floorboards creek so loud as if death was chasing me, 
Since the day I was born death's been chasing me back home. 
And when my time comes at the end of the road I'll be waiting here, 
Set me free. 
No longer my home. no longer my shelter. 
The clouds will cover me wherever I may be. 
Trapped in a dying world, the winters last too long. 
The winters last forever. 
Why do I lie to myself and still pretend 
I don't remember every month of every year 
That we ever spent together. 
Your blood red cheeks in the cold 
Follow me home. 
Daisy hill, so easily you always get to me. 
I can hardly breathe
