about

"As with most of my lyrics, this song is probably about 2-3 different things simultaneously.

The "don't tell me" section was great fun to sing, although I did have a sore throat the rest of the day!"

lyrics

[lyrics]

Would you like to see my mind
Full of confident doubts and assured regrets
Pull off competent designs

Just let go
Please let go

And it's been a long time now
But I never thought I'd be here
Forever tryin' to work it out
Just let go
Please let go

All I see when I look inside myself and try to find the blame
It's all in you and every time I look above all I think is someone's faking this

Never been a betting bloke
But I bet you'll twist the knife again
Regretting every time you spoke
Shut this down
Tear this down

Your roots tear down to the core
Your routes turn forever more

And in the shadow of the perfect sun
I've become an afterglow that tries to cast its own shape upon the world
And I'm desperate to make my mark
Scratch my name into the bark of you
Into the bark of you

You speak true, nice and true
You sneak through, right on through

Don't tell me what I lost, what I gained
There's no need to count costs and explain
So basically there's nothing you can say to me
That lets me down this easily
And all I ask is this
don't leave me in the

Shadow of the perfect sun
I've become an afterglow that tries to cast its own shape upon the world
And I'm desperate to make my mark
Scratch my name into the bark of you
Into the bark of you

Your roots tear down to the core
Your routes turn forever more
Your roots tear down to the core
Your routes turn forever more
Your roots tear down to the core
Your routes turn forever more
Your roots tear down to the core
Your routes turn forever more
Your roots tear down to the core
Your routes turn forever more
Your roots tear down to the core
Your routes turn forever more
