about

Version original off darby's debut album 'Suburbia' which features this song on piano.

Released September 2020 with Evening Records.

lyrics

You've got the house on the corner it looks out over the bowling club nobody's using
and it reminds you you're idle too, and we all go away
each afternoon might be so lucky as to have its edges smoothed
by a mediocre red, you wish your time was spent some other way

But I know that your heart light's faded
as is the end of your cigarette at midnight
and it feels like no one's watching, as you set fire to your lungs again
and if the time was right you'd leave suburbia
just to get a little more height
and if the time was right you'd leave

you like the younger women cause they suit the boy
and the ones your age you know won't have the patience for your
die hard addictions, and those ugly afflictions to want to grow

But I know that your heart light's faded
as is the end of your cigarette at midnight
and it feels like no one's watching, as you set fire to your lungs again
and if the time was right you'd leave suburbia
just to get a little more height
and if the time was right you'd leave
