lyrics

never been to this bar without freaking out
it seems so effortless for you
want to live in flat white with all my girls
like all the other boys do

and i'll move to spain and read borges and kafka
and never check the news
i can leave this place whenever i want
but there'll still be boys like you

and in moments of weakness i'm desperate to see you again
drive to hadrian's wall or lake grasmere to feel that love again
went to tyneside alone when it all got too much to bear
they treat you like a different species, i try not to care

there's a long dusty highway that appears in the dead of night
completely perfectly straight, devoid of any other cars
and i always end up driving all the way down it, squinting through the moonlight
there's a party happening and the gays are invited, except for gays like me
