The weight of the world, in a shoebox
Stuffed under your bed
Recalling the antics, of the weekend
I think its better left unsaid
You've got your getaway planned
And nostalgia's got the upper hand
See your photograph and you turn your back
A coloured youth soon fades to black
Do you remember the first time
Well I do, and the plans that we made
All of us getting on it, Jimmy was off it
And the memories fade to
Places and faces
Put me through my paces
Well you know time is wasted on your own
You cut all ties again, "it's alright" you said
He's going nowhere fast
Staying out for the summer
We're invincible cos the sun's always on our back
Now you're cutting it fine again
You've overstepped a line my friend
And have you really thought this through
Of course not, you never do
Beware of responsibility
It knocks on for you, you shy away from the truth
Absence of an excuse
And your crown's coming loose
Places and faces
Put me through my paces
Well you know time is wasted on your own
So c'est la vie, yeah you know me
And it'll all come together
I wanna be this way forever
I wanna be this way forever
Places and faces
Put me through my paces
Well you know time is wasted on your own
So c'est la vie, yeah you know me
And it'll all come together
I wanna be this way forever
I wanna be this way forever
