Taken from the acoustic mini-album "Late"

lyrics

What a foolish mistake, To be caught on the stairs,
With that girl in your arms and your eyes filled with tears,
‘Cause you’ve opened your mouth, Let frustration edge out,
And your words have gone dry.

What a turn for the worse, Finding them just the same,
With their heads in the sand, And their bags on a plane,
You just stand there surprised, They continue their lies,
As you fall by the wayside.

Sliding on the perfect road, Should help remind you how it always goes,
Sliding on the perfect road, Should help remind you how it always goes.

What a strange thing to say, When you’ve left this behind,
And with all that entails, And the strange things you find,
As you scavenge around, Crying to be caught out,
But you’ll just carry on, And on and on and on and on.
