lyrics

Solitude again - it's Tuesday night
Fluorescent light is draining
All the colour from my face

On a mission waking Camp Lejeune
My whisky tune is breaking
But Dickel's burn cannot erase

How I traded home with her for a hotel
I didn't know that road would never end

I'm southeast by miles
Sharing the same night sky
Sacrifice seemed worthwhile
But now I'm throwing stones
At the stars above
Wishing I could take her back

London Bridge again, the Gravesend train
Rolls into the station
I drag my battered bags on board

Across the midnight sky Canary Wharf
Glows in isolation
Why did I ever cut the cord?

A tattered photo won't stop me feeling alone
She's just a disembodied voice on my phone

And I'm southeast by miles
Sharing the same night sky
Sacrifice seemed worthwhile
But now I'm throwing stones
At the stars above
Wishing I could take her back
Wishing I could take her back

Some decisions come to haunt you,
Throwing shadows on your past
But even if I see her on the street
Would our eyes meet?
Or would I still be

Southeast by miles
Sharing the same night sky
Sacrifice seemed worthwhile
But now I'm throwing stones
At the stars above
Wishing I could take her back
Wishing I could take her back
Wishing I could take her back
