Fade Out

Hair down,
With my arm around.
Smile so hard you bite your lip,
I read you pretty loud.
Now,
We fall out
At the end of the year,
I don’t make a sound.
The band counts down,
Drinks all round.
I look to you,
With a frown.
No,
I don’t walk you home.
I leave at half past one
And I’m on my own.
I leave,
Behind the sound.
Of Cyndi Lauper
And those dancing crowds.
The lines fade out,
Round this house.
I walk home,
On North Road.

The Girl You Know

You got something to say, babe?
Is it the way I drive?
Don’t love you in the day
Like I do in the night
And I can’t stop,
When it’s all I want
Something on my mind
Tells me this ain’t the one.
It’s the games you play,
Can I change your mind?
Nothing seems as bad
On a bottle of wine.
No, this has to stop.
This isn’t what I want.
I don’t know what to say,
When falling out of your love.
What do you want from me?
I couldn’t treat you right.
The money’s rolling in,
But later in life
When we’re down the line,
You’re dressed in white.
Something you should’ve said
Sends up a chill up your spine.
And this isn’t me,
I’m not all you need.
Things are getting heavy
I’ve just turned Nineteen.
Look, you said: “You’re not
The man I want”
I know you didn’t mean it but to be honest I’m not.
What’s wrong with you?
I’m the girl you know.
Don’t leave me in the middle
When I want you to show
That you want me ‘round,
Tell me what’s that sound?
Would you rather leave me hangin’
Than talking it out?
What to make of you?
I think you just want out.
You’re scared of your own shadow
‘Case it’s sticking around.
Do you love me not?
Well, can you just say so?
Just tell me what you’re thinkin’
So I can walk out the door.

I’ve told myself before, kick out the dust.
Forever downwards on my luck
The oceans graze its knees.
Left out all day in the sun,
You pick them out one by one.
And drown them in the sea.
I could be monochrome, just what you want.
If you won’t test me then is that my fault?
My friends cling to your toes.
“The road begins here but it doesn’t end
And I can’t promise you’ll find yourself again.
But there’s nothing you’ve been owed.”

Out of the town,
I drive in the night.
My hands at the wheel,
The trees run aside
The road
Where they’ve pushed away the Winter’s snow.
Into the woods,
A cheek on the glass.
It feels like a while
But a year hasn’t passed
Since I,
Asked if we could take a drive.
I called in the night
“Is it cool if we talk?
“I’m out of my mind
I’m so mad at the thought
Of her.”
“I’ll pick you up in half an hour.”
We talked in the car,
In the fumes, by the sea.
“But it’s him that I love,
He doesn’t know that we speak”
“Then we won’t,
Just go ahead and drop me home.”
Out of the woods,
I’ve remembered your voice.
I’m lost in my love,
I’ll remember tonight.
That I,
Told myself that you were right.
There’s hope in the air,
As it mists on the glass
DP’s got me down,
But it’s not gonna last.
You’ll see,
I’ll lose myself in to these streets.
Into the walls,
That built with the earth
To the love that I gave,
That turned into the rust
“You do,
Anything you want for you.”
Into the town
I drive out the night
Sun’s coming up
As I switch off the lights.
And now,
I’m left to found my own way out.
