Lyrics: So Long, London

So long, London (So long, London)

So long, London (So long, London)

So long, London (So long, London)


I saw in my mind fairy lights through the mist

I kept calm and carried the weight of the rift

Pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting away

My spine split from carrying us up the hill

Wet through my clothes, weary bones caught the chill

I stopped trying to make him laugh, stopped trying to drill the safe

Thinking how much sad did you think I had

Did you think I had in me?

Oh, the tragedy


So long, London

You'll find someone


I didn't opt in to be your odd man out

I founded the club she's heard great things about

I left all I knew, you left me at the house by the Heath

I stopped CPR, after all, it's no use

The spirit was gone, we would never come to

And I'm pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free


For so long, London

Stitches undone

Two graves, one gun

I'll find someone


And you say I abandoned the ship

But I was going down with it

My white-knuckle dying grip

Holding tight to your quiet resentment

And my friends said it isn't right to be scared

Every day of a love affair

Every breath feels like rarest air

When you're not sure if he wants to be there

So how much sad did you think I had

Did you think I had in me?

How much tragedy?

Just how low did you think I'd go

Before I'd self-implode?

Before I'd have to go be free?


You swore that you loved me, but where were the clues?

I died on the altar waiting for the proof

You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days

And I'm just getting color back into my face

I'm just mad as hell 'cause I loved this place


For so long, London (So long, London)

Had a good run (Had a good run)

A moment of warm sun (Moment of warm sun)

But I'm not the one (I'm not the one)


So long, London (So long, London)

Stitches undone (Stitches undone)

Two graves, one gun (Two graves, one gun)

You'll find someone (You'll find)
