Neither Orphan Nor Runaway ft. Chelsea Lee Lyrics

Leaving only makes you feel strange

It's the coming back'll drive you insane

No-one ever blame you if you never do nothing at all

It's an hour to the nearest train

More if you don't wanna be late

Gravel gives way to the rhythm of the radio

And you figure you can last three days

And then you'll find some place to stay

You got a cousin you can call get you dinner and your cigarettes

Tell your little sister you might

But there's nothing gonna make it alright

Too old to be an orphan and too young to be a runaway

Too old to be an orphan and too young to be a runaway

You'd be giving up a broken heart

You'll be headed to the boys in bars

And you've forgiven all the wasted hours

And the spaces in between

And you'll be living like a paperback

And you promise that you won't look back

But there's always little scrapes and cracks

Let the colour and the memories in

Bridges only ever burn down

Every time you try to leave town

Money got you worried but your courage is a ketamine

Lovers gonna leave their mark

Laying next to you in the dark

And maybe you remember what it's like to be a little mean

You'd be giving up a broken heart

You'll be headed to the boys in bars

And you've forgiven all the wasted hours

And the spaces in between

And you'll be living like a paperback

And you promise that you won't look back

But there's always little scrapes and cracks

Let the colour and the memories in

Reckon you can keep it in check

Cos no-one's tried to hassle you yet

Twenty two years and your looking for the long way down

Love is just another false start

And hope is just a hand in the dark

So run little runaway, run and you don't give it up easy

Bridges only ever burn down

Every time you try and leave town

Every time you say it

Every time you try and lead me astray

And maybe it's a matter of fact

But you don't wanna talk about that

To old to be an orphan and too young to be a runaway
