48h Lyrics & Tabs by David & The Citizens
48h
guitar chords lyrics
When we wake in the morning we will take the bus
and go down to the city from the house
on top of this man-make mountain, this hollow hill
From the mountain and down to the city where everything stands still
Two little hands grabbing for two big ones
Leading a safe way through the noice and alarm
and the cars and the boats and the fumes in my nose
And the city is pulling the blood out of me
'Cause I never really had you
No, I never really had you
So we go down in the tunnel and up on the other side
The leaf and the face and the laughing seagulls
And I don't want to let you go, I don't want to let you go
But soon I will have to 'cause we're almost there
Just a few more blocks then this good thing stops
And I don't want to let you go, I don't want to let you go
But soon I will have to 'cause we're almost there
Just a few more blocks then this good thing stops
And I'll wave you off...
'Cause I never really had you
No, I never really had you
And it's easy to see when you're safe in a distance
It's easy to speak when you can't feel anything
And somebody's got to take the blame
and I blame myself every single day
For having you, and losing you
But all this time you were always on my mind
And the city is big - much too big
And the weekend is short - much too short
I wanted to show you everything
But the distance is fucking it up
The weekend has come to a stop
Our 48 hours are up
Look at the millionaire taking a limo
Slipping a 500 bill to the doorman
American fuck-up you should give it to me
I wounld spend it better I would do something pretty
I would buy some time, just an hour or two
Let the kids take the later train home instead
But everything around rushing through my head, rushing through my head...
*Cause I never really had you
No, I never really had you...
So I go out from the station and back to the hill
Into the apartment, am I breathing still?
