歌詞
This one for all my friends still dreaming
It's hard to keep it up while you're making a living
My friends putting in work
We expect it to pay off or
Are we really that stupid?
Crouched under a sink
Investing in pipe dreams
And pinning hopes on lottery tickets
Leave the house at nightfall
Walk over uneven slabs, alongside
The empty boxes of
Oven dinners and take-aways
They're reclaiming the land and
They're starting with the old estates
You can see how something
As light as a memory
could easily unsettle and fly away
This ever more evident
Past the end of the road
Where the avenues meet
Where I last heard you say
We're expecting the shame
To lift as soon as the money's right
There ain't the riches for that
Raising hearts and bank accounts
Might be mutually exclusive
You can see how something
As light as a memory
Could easily unsettle and fly away
If right now we ain't nothing
Nothing but pipe dreams
Then we only got pipe dreams to lose
But our children will walk under
The archways or set charges
In the corridors of the lawmakers
From the tower blocks you hear
The town we grew up in
Ache under the conversation
Tasting midnight with heavy eyes
I'll be here when the confetti flies
I'll stay when the curtain drops
This ones for my friends still dreaming
It's hard to keep it up while you're making a living
