End Of The Line (Feat. Jono Mccleery)

When the DJ said put your hands in the air
I was the only one left
tears in the dance floor
tear in the dancefloor underneath all of the sweat
take it back Take it back to the start
or at least the start of the end
lines were crossed words were said WhatsApp messages left unread
Maybe we should hash it out then
Or just act like nothing happened
rave in the weekend like we planned it, Confirmations all half hearted
sweep the awkward under the rug
end of the night we'll end with a hug I'm sure,
I'm sure
the night had other plans in store

So long so long
all the stars in disarray
I think of you, and it brings me down
So long, so long
and I fall
I think of you, and it brings me down

When you're not quite mates anymore
and the air has a weight
"Do you fancy a bite?"
"We can meet around ten to?"
"I can send you the menu?"
"Nah, let's meet at the venue"
I feel us slipping into rearview
battle-lines drawn, as we meet in the queue
friendly but far from the same crew.

Benji's late, we small talk thru the silence
"Your shoes look the nicest!"
"How's the job?" "How the missus?"
Dead conversing to fill the distance
Asked about me, and it felt a chance to
lay things out didn't wanna risk that
your smile, I sorely I miss
now we're at the bar

Benji turned up late in a suit wow
dude, how we gonna blend with the youth, each
mate leave it im not in the mood nah
that was a joke but I dunno what to do now
some other life
we would be
rowdy rowdy
gun fingers
front rows deep
mad moshing
but now "this
sound systems
too loud, yknow? "

Benji went to the loo, bee lined straight the exit
Marvin and I one last time, we locked our weary eyes
lenses reflect a strobe light sun, ice cubes weaken the shot of rum
he blinked, lowered his gaze to his brand new shoes,
turned around and was gone

When the DJ said put your hands in the air
I was the only one left
tears in the dance floor
tear in the dancefloor underneath all of the sweat

So long so long
all the stars in disarray
I think of you, and it brings me down
So long, so long
and I fall
I think of you, and it brings me down

the end of the night finds me sober
I see the back of you, summer nights colder
lights come on long shadow casts over
we head to the exit but not shoulder to shoulder
three safe lads, now lonely soldiers
the crows fly but not as a murder
the fat lady sang but I couldn't hear her
Could only remember the cadence
and we'll be cool
I'll press like on
some of your post
I miss what we were
but I'll never say it

You and I were supposed to fly, my friend
