Mathew Street

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Bounding down Mathew Street To a seagull melody The smell of smoke and ale from last evening Acquired taste of plum jerkum Leather boots on linoleum Reminders of the things that were once done [Pre-Chorus] '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 bare Collecting stories that aren't mine to share [Chorus] And though I know therе's an answer To why I view the world with such romancе, oh And maybe that is why some of you might have guessed I'm stuck in a past that I I've not lived before [Verse 2] I was running through the street Cobblestone below my feet Imagining if you were right there with me And strange enough to my surprise There was a moment where I realized That you were already right there by my side [Pre-Chorus] '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 'bout what lurks in the shadows [Chorus] And though I know there's an answer To why I view the world with such romance, oh And maybe that is why some of you might have guessed I'm stuck in a past that I I've not lived before [Bridge] 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, oh Oh, oh-oh-oh [Outro] And though I know there's an answer To why I view the world with such romance, oh Maybe that is why some of you might have guessed I'm stuck in a past that I I've not lived before
