Mathew Street

Mathew Street: Bounding down Mathew Street To a seagull melody The smell smoke and ale from last evening Acquired taste of plum jerkum Leather boots linoleum Reminders of the things that were once done Cause you know I can easily Compare the things between you and me And treat your life like a book that I can read. And though I know that isn't fair Retrospect's a burden I must bear Collecting stories that aren't mine to share. And though I know there's an answer To why I view the world with such romance Maybe that is why some of you might have guessed I'm stuck in a past that I... I've not lived before I was running through the street Cobblestone below my feet Imagining if you were right there with me. But strange enough to my surprise There was a moment where I realized That you were already right there by my side. Cause the truth is you didn't know What the future was to hold And you were just a normal 17 year old. So it's comforting, I suppose To know that we were once on the same boat Dreaming about what lurks in the shadows. And though I know there's an answer To why I view the world with such romance Maybe that is why some of you might have guessed I'm stuck in a past that I... I've not lived before And maybe there's a reason I'm here today And that's to say the things you couldn't say So when I hear those seagulls calling me I'll just remember what happened to you and me... On Mathew Street And though I know there's an answer To why I view the world with such romance Maybe that is why some of you might have guessed I'm stuck in a past that I... I've not lived before
