i made the call and it rang twice
i'm asking if the weather's fine
i'm not looking for a ride
i've plenty to provide
a way back home to you tonight
i'll use what i have got
a pair of burnt out legs and a mind that's shot
if the sun keeps shining strong
i'm happy to amble along
left and leaving, too long i've been gone
i swear i'm built on goodbyes
i'll see you all some other time
i swear i'm built on "let's try"
'cause our mate Jay's gone on a swing that's gone on too long
sifting through decisions that i never really made
decisions that became the spade i used to dig my grave
deepening lines in your forehead and mine
i'll use you like a parachute
not to stop my fall, to simply slow it down
i swear i'm built on goodbyes
i'll see you all some other time
i swear i'm built on "let's try"
'cause our mate Jay's gone and every swing's too long
i swear i'm set on this life
'cause you're my home and you're where i belong
let's forget about this lost tide
'cause what we got is that we still hold strong
