I took a walk to the end of the road and realise i still had a long way to go found i had two ways to turn, one came for free the other i had to earn misconception had caught my eye, points me in the wrong direction every time this time im gonna make amends, turn the other way instead Maybe I've been here before remember all the things you said that i tried to ignore like love is such a simple thing, even makes the beggars sing always keeps me coming back for more and Maybe I've been here before remember all the things you said that i tried to ignore like love is such a simple thing, even makes the beggars sing always keeps me coming back for more Well i tried to relate but i found it easier to contemplate everything else thats going on instead of writing another love song care less about the trouble I'm in, remember all the places that I've been be the sing who sung more than sombre words sadly someone saw the sick side of an extravert and Maybe I've been here before remember all the things you said that i tried to ignore like love is such a simple thing, even makes the beggars sing always keeps me coming back for more and Maybe I've been here before remember all the things you said that i tried to ignore like love is such a simple thing, even makes the beggars sing always keeps me coming back for more and i don't think that i was ever told theres more to life than wedding bells and digging for little bits of gold faith is such a simple test, its got me holding on every breathe i guess this lesser path is walked alone i guess this lesser path is my own and Maybe I've been here before remember all the things you said that i tried to ignore like love is such a simple thing, even makes the beggars sing always keeps me coming back for more and Maybe I've been here before remember all the things you said that i tried to ignore like love is such a simple thing, even makes the beggars sing always keeps me coming back for more

I Believe 04:54

Well i don't believe in false romance or living without a second chance and the best things in life don't ever come for free how can you know what you got if you never lose or never been forced to pick of choose, i guess optimism isn't a very good colour on me i don't believe in getting old or driving on a one way road, the best sights in the world still haven't been seen and i don't believe the bible was made, to dictate life in anyway the grass growing on the other side isn't very green so i guess, it stands to question, am i living my life without any direction so please ask me what do i believe? well I've never been one to kiss and tell or leave my keys on the window sill, spare change in my pocket seems to really irritate me i never believed in forever alone, or always keeping one eye on my phone the difference between my life and reality so i guess, it stands to question, am i living my life without any direction so please ask me what do i believe? I believe in letting things go, the mortal soul life didn't exist before rock n roll setting fire to blame, living without shame a life without love is a lonely game believe in checking things twice and playing nice music a commitment left out by christ 6 strings playing on a passive tone and family is just a fancy word for home so i guess, it stands to question, am i living my life without any direction so please ask me what do i believe? well i can't shake this feeling of heart ache thats been haunting me for a while would you ignore if i knocked at your door or would i be greeted with a smile? believe life's about more than bentley's and ford's or the size of my bank account pile and I'm counting down days with no goals and no aims it's just nice to believe once in a while I believe in letting things go, the mortal soul life didn't exist before rock n roll setting fire to blame, living without shame a life without love is a lonely game believe in checking things twice and playing nice music a commitment left out by christ 6 strings playing on a passive tone and family is just a fancy word for home so i guess, it stands to question, am i living my life without any direction so please ask me what do i believe? what do i believe?

Pub Day 04:35

Pour me another beer and we'll drink to our final years and say a toast to our early ways and when i'm dead and gone, all the boys will sing along and we'll meet up again on Pub Day remember the times of the old Sydney lights, that bright up like the sun at 3am or the moments we shared with empty wallets but time to spare, i raise my glass and salute those years again. and the morning coffee stings my brain while my ears ring from going to see all our favourite bands play we must have seen them a hundred times, but it never crossed my mind that we wouldn't get to see them again Pour me another beer and we'll drink to our final years and say a toast to our early ways and when i'm dead and gone, all the boys will sing along and we'll meet up again on Pub Day Hill streets prime had past i guess some things aren't built to last but I've never seen mum smile the same way and i never saw shannies swing but my dad use to tell me things all the stories of the shu man and comedians Pour me another beer and we'll drink to our final years and say a toast to our early ways and when i'm dead and gone, all the boys will sing along and we'll meet up again on Pub Day We've lost friends over the years, we've spilt so many beers staining glasses with yeast and pale hearts we don't drink to numb the pain, we reminisce on the glory days and stories without a spare word to say Pour me another beer and we'll drink to our final years and say a toast to our early ways and when i'm dead and gone, all the boys will sing along and we'll meet up again on Pub Day Pour me another beer and we'll drink to our final years and say a toast to our early ways and when i'm dead and gone, all the boys will sing along and we'll meet up again on Pub Day and we'll meet up again on Pub Day and i'll see you again on Pub Day

I've done it now, it seems my shipwreck is going down, underground and i can't do a damn thing to save myself and yes indeed, this one is about me, and i plead that you see the beggar that i have come to be ohh someone come save me from this i don't want to live in the past but i can't help but reminisce it's been so long and too far gone but i still think about what i've done wrong my self appointed sentence has brought me to my knees it feels so strong, what did i do before this came along? and i belong in a straight jacket and a house of 6 inch concrete and its not fair, the burden i carry is more than i can bear and no one seems to care ohh someone come save me from this i don't want to live in the past but i can't help but reminisce it's been so long and too far gone but i still think about what i've done wrong my self appointed sentence has brought me to my knees well i need a saviour I'm begging you please oh yea i'm begging you please oh yea i'm begging you please oh yea i'm begging you please oh yea i'm begging you please ohh someone come save me from this i don't want to live in the past but i can't help but reminisce it's been so long and too far gone but i still think about what i've done wrong my self appointed sentence has brought me to my knees ohh someone come save me from this i don't want to live in the past but i can't help but reminisce it's been so long and too far gone but i still think about what i've done wrong my self appointed sentence has brought me to my knees well i need a saviour I'm begging you please save me

Day Trippin 04:07
lyrics

i think i'm prone to panic and mixing jager with my beers, i'm drowning out my fears thought life would be easy until i learnt the marshall art, of living in the dark i'm living a delusion, thinking everything's for free, but it doesn't bother me i miss my old friend bender, jack and jim and john, wasn't their fault when things went wrong i think i'll be home late so don't stay up and wait at 5am, i'll start again wondering when this fucking day trip will end i'm sick of all this shit and i'm so close i just can't quit i've had enough of it, i care a little more than i like to admit and i'm sinking in this world that i'm living i'm finally feeling like i'm spitting out the words that i don't believe in i think i'll be home late so don't stay up and wait at 5am, i'll start again wondering when this fucking day trip will end i'm day trippin and i just can't win i'm day trippin i think i'll be home late so don't stay up and wait at 5am, i'll start again wondering when this fucking day trip will end i'm day trippin (i think i'll be home late) and i just can't win (so don't stay up and wait) i'm day trippin
