This is one of Exebelle's oldest songs. It was written by Phil and Exebelle's ex-lead-singer, Chris Wright. We've played this song live a lot, but for various reasons we didn't get around to recording it until now. Chris, we miss you and hope that you like how this tune turned out.
lyrics
The sidewalk was new,
but it was falling apart.
And the ground is shifting,
but it was from the start.
The cracks grow a little wider,
And the rifts rise a little higher...
and now we both know, that you knew first.
You planned to go, leaving me worse.
So now I walk slow watching my step.
You keep what you stole, and I'll keep whats left.
The steel rail is strong,
and it keeps me on track.
And the train keeps moving,
and it never looks back.
The coal burns a little hotter,
and the pistons move faster...
and now we both know, that you knew first.
You planned to go, leaving me worse.
So now I walk slow watching my step.
You keep what you stole, and I'll keep whats left.
When time starts to drag,
and it's weighed by your conscience.
and the life you're living,
is guided by your best guess.
