Early Grave

from Half the Heart EP by Rowan Lewis

/

lyrics

I can’t forget the way that he looked
Trying not to draw attention to himself on a southbound train

And I can’t forget the curl of his lip
When I spoke of cigarettes between my teeth on a long night out
On a long night out

I can only miss him in dreams now
When my shutdown brain forgets

Back to the start
When my hands shook hard
And we practiced our language with a sweet regard
How could I create when I’d never been brave?
Now I’m reminiscing when there’s nothing there to save

Yeah, back to the start
Before my time
When real life was on the borderline
I won’t worry myself into an early grave
Thinking on hearts when there’s nothing left to save

I can’t forget the rattling nights
Afraid that I was boring now, ashamed I wasn’t worth the breath

Lucky I saved it, lucky I know
That the good stays good, and the worst
Is yet to come

‘Cos I still have feelings for him
But I’m never gonna take him back

Back to the start
When my hands shook hard
And we practiced our language with a sweet regard
How could I create when I’d never been brave?
Now I’m reminiscing when there’s nothing there to save

Yeah, back to the start
Before my time
When real life was on the borderline
I won’t worry myself into an early grave
Thinking on hearts when there’s nothing left to save

‘Cos everything’s peachy til it’s not
And I was so keen but he forgot
That skin keeps healing and it’s nice to hear thoughts
‘Cos you can’t live on speech alone
When you’re driven by the plot
Bad endings,
Bad endings
The capital’s breaking off

And I still have feelings for you
But I’m never gonna take you back

Back to the start
When my hands shook hard
And we practiced our language with a sweet regard
How could I create when I’d never been brave?
Now I’m reminiscing when there’s nothing there to save

Yeah, back to the start
Before my time
When real life was on the borderline
I won’t worry myself into an early grave
Thinking on hearts when there’s nothing left to save

Thinking on hearts
Thinking on hearts
I won’t worry myself into an early grave
Thinking on hearts when there’s nothing left to save
