Philadelphia

I watch the breeze blow the dust away
You've come from war
Your knees hit the floor
And your smart mouth has run out of things to say
You burned right out
Like a candle at both ends
And you pushed away your family and friends

While you were growing old
Yeah I was making tracks
Fast times are flashing by
If you blink then you might
Miss the world as it flies by
And in the corner of your eye
I will be there making tracks

Slowly I'm watching the you that I knew rot away
5 years wore you down cos
You stayed in this town
And it'll be the death of you one day
Ambitions key to making progress
Without it you regress, depress, undress, I guess,
Oh what a fucking mess you've made

While you were growing old
Yeah I was making tracks
Fast times are flashing by
If you blink then you might
Miss the world as it flies by
And in the corner of your eye
I will be there making tracks

The reason you stayed
Will always stay a mystery to me and oh
Was it for love or
Or Was it because the light behind your eyes burned out

While you were growing old
Yeah I was making tracks
Fast times are flashing by
If you blink then you might
Miss the world as it flies by
And in the corner of your eye
This static dream can never last
Instead of getting old
Yeah I'll be making tracks
Just take my hand and I promise you that
We can run towards the sky
A part of you can never die
So long as you live life making tracks
