Nails

from I Started With The Best Intentions by Goodbye Fairground

lyrics

Sorry, I didn’t mean to stare
it just feels good to finally see a friendly face
strangers stay strangers in this town
no matter how hard they may try
rule #1 is: never talk to strangers
rule #2 is: barely talk at all
I’ve been in this room for too long
wasted my days on beer and sleep
please show me all your favourite places
or don’t if you keep them secret
I only beg for your company
because I can’t stand being alone
and in all honesty it’s just

you don’t wake up here thanking god
that you are still alive
you just go back to sleep and pray
he’ll let you wake up somewhere else
this town is dead, this town is rotting
like all those car wrecks and old trees
the broken fences, empty stables
ruins and hidden rails

and that is where your house is at
right by the tracks and passing trains
four nails to hold this house together
let’s hope it never rains again
tell me would you still keep on trying
if I told you how it ends?

I’ve seen so many places but they don’t feel like home.
