Still sat in a room aglow with your memory
Oil lamps and candles ease the itch from my eye
Sentimental furniture kept in every corner
Caved in life's clutter, I'm a hoarder
I'm a keeper, I'm a dreamer
I hold a fragment of you in an old letter
Up to the candle to burn away
But the truth extinguished the flame in just one second
Heard what I didn't want to know in the smoky afterglow
Your words whispering through shapes of your writing on the wall
I hold a fragment of you in an old picture
Up to the oil lamp to inspect it again
When I couldn't see your face so clearly
I turn on the main light switch -
Wake up it's 2019 and you need to get over it
Wake up it's 2019 and you need to get on with it
Childhood friends
Teenage lovers
Adult strangers
Always neighbours
Always neighbours
And the harsh light is hurting my eyes
As the truth is hurting my heart
I escape out to the night time shadow
Expecting street lamps to reveal your figure to me
And you could appear around any corner
As you often do
But no-one knows their neighbours in the city
No-one knows their neighbours in the city
Childhood friends
Teenage lovers
Adult strangers
Always neighbours
Always neighbours
