I don't wanna talk about it, about itI don't wanna talk about it, about itI don't wanna talk about it, about itI don't wanna talk about it, about itI don't wanna talk about it, about itI don't wanna talk about it, about itI don't wanna talk about it, about itI don't wanna talk about it, about itI see ahead of me a light that takes my breathIf we're only ever looking backThen how can we expectTo see each other as we areFor all that we've becomeWould we be friends at all if we weren't friendsWhen we was young?I want to feel close to you for more than just a sakeOf the place that we grew up in and all them timesWhen we got baked in the parkLook, if you take me apart, you'll find half of me is youBut half of me is asking me to start a newYou look the same but I don't recognize youI look at you dead in the face and I can't find youDon't like the way we always talk in the past tenseYou can't explain the present till you work outWhat the past meantThese are the days that bind usTogether, foreverAnd these little things define usForever, foreverAll this bad blood hereWon't you let it dry?It's been cold for yearsWon't you let it lie?There's a man I've known for yearsAnd still to this day do I know himI love him very much, it's very hard for me to show himBack then and even nowI feel there's something that I owe himAnd that feeling should be going over timeBut no, it's growingWe was kid mates, making mistakesPaying give-takeBig hearts battling them big snakesRattling their tailsHe was like the wind in my sailsI was like the water for his keel, that was realIt use to hurt my flesh that his water scarsWere heated steelHe use to hurt his flesh just to see if he could feelTo cut a long shortHe was never really the strong sortGot in to the wrong sportBig swigs, long snortsCaught in that spiral, saw attempts to help him spitefulBut soon he got so down that he got on the brownWord got roundPeople did not like the soundThey told me to stop popping round to see himI kept disagreeing, soon he was a different beingHe got in to stealing, robbingI'd still see him frequent, oftenEyes were throbbing, weeping, sobbingFreaking outHe wouldn't speak about the things that made him weakHis doubt would stop his throat mid-sentenceHis face would paint repentanceWhile his actions spoke dependanceFriendship became difficult, to say the leastHe played the beast so wellI wondered how I'd ever make our peaceThat's when we drifted, never arguedIt just became clearThe parts of him I loved so wellHad slowly disappearedBut those are the days that bind usTogether, foreverAnd these little things define usForever, foreverAll this bad blood hereWon't you let it dry?It's been cold for yearsWon't you let it lie?Ready or notHere I comeYou can't hideI'm gonna find youAnd take it slowlyReady or notHere I comeYou can't hideI'm going to find youAnd make you want me
