End Of The Line

Lyrics

[Refrain] When the DJ said put your hands in the air I was the only one left Tears inna dance floor, tears inna dancefloor Underneath all the sweat Take it back, take it back to the start Or at least the start of the end Lines were crossed, words were said WhatsApp messages left unread [Verse 1] Maybe we should hash it out then Or just act like nothing happened We can rave like we planned it Confirmations all half-hearted I sweep the awkward under the rug End of the night, it'll end with a hug, I'm sure I'm sure The night had other plans in store [Chorus] So long, so long All the stars in disarray I think of you and it brings me down So long, so long And I fall I think of you, and it brings me down [Verse 3] When you're not quite mates anymore And the air has a weight Do you fancy a bite? We can meet around ten to I can send you the menu Nah, let's meet at the venue I feel us slippin' into rearview Battlelines drawn as we meet in the queue Friendly, but far from the same crew Benji's late, we small talk through the silence Your shoes look the nicest How's the job? How the missus? Dead conversin' to fill the distance Asked about me, felt like a chance to lay things out I couldn't risk it Your smile, I sorely miss Now we're at the bar [Verse 4] Benji turned up late in a suit, wow Dude, how we gonna blend with the youth? Nah, mate, leave it, I'm not in the mood Nah, that was a joke, I don't know what to do now Some other life We'd be rowdy, rowdy Gun fingers Front rows deep, mad moshin' But now this sound system's too loud, yknow? Benji went to the loo and bee-lined straight the exit Marvin and I, one last time, we locked our weary eyes Lenses reflect a strobe light sun, ice cube weaken the shot of rum He blinked, lowered his gaze to his brand-new shoes, turned around and was gone [Pre-Chorus] When the DJ said put your hands in the air When the DJ said put your hands in the air Tears inna dance floor, tears inna dancefloor Underneath all the sweat [Chorus] So long, so long All the stars in disarray I think of you and it brings me down So long, so long And I fall I think of you, and it brings me down [Verse 5] The end of the night finds me sober I see the back of you, summer nights colder Lights come on, long shadow casts over We head to the exit, but not shoulder to shoulder Three safe lads, now lonely soldiers The crows fly out, but not as a murder The fat lady sang, but I couldn't hear her Could only remember the cadence And we'll be cool I'll press like on your recent posts I miss what we were, but l'Il never say it You and I were supposed to fly, my friend
