[Verse 1]
I think I miss my mother
This life's a busy road
And looking through the railiings
I need a hand to hold
[Verse 2]
I'm flicking through the polaroids
Summer days and retro toys
Bowie cutting through the noise
Left echoes in my heart
Running through the neigbourhood
Ride my bike on through the wood
Always up on nothing good
I knew it from the start
[Chorus]
And when you go there, you never come back
Just like my mother says, you'll get a heart attack
And when you go there, you never come back
Just like my mother says, can't bring the past back
And when you go, you're never coming back
You're never coming back
And when you go, you're never coming back
You're never coming back
[Verse 2]
Growing up is never graceful
And this coffee's getting cold
I never made my yearbook
'Cause I put my life on hold
[Verse 3]
In and out of highschool
Heavy with a heart of gold
Bending form to make the mould
I fell down at the start
Waiting for her on the train
I'll never be stood up again
But someone told me yesterday
You need to make you stronger
[Chorus]
When you go there, you never come back
Just like my mother said, you'll get a heart attack
And when you go there, you never come back
Just like my mother said, can't bring the past back
So when you go, you're never coming back
(No, you're never coming)
You're never coming back
(No, you're never coming)
And when you go, you're never coming back
(No, you're never coming)
You're never coming back
You're never coming back
(No, you're never coming)
[Bridge]
I'm in the neighbourhood
I'm in the neighbourhood
I'm in the neighbourhood and it feels good
I'm in the neighbourhood
I'm in the neighbourhood
I'm in the neighbourhood and it feels
[Chorus]
So when go there, you never come back
Just like my mother said, can't bring the past back
And when you hold me and it all comes back
Like my mother, I won't forget that
And when you go, you're never coming back
(No, you're never coming)
You're never coming back
You're never coming back
(No, you're never coming)
And when you go, you're never coming back
You're never coming back
(No, you're never coming)
You're never coming back
(No, you're never coming)
And when you go, you're never coming back
(No, you're never coming)
You're never coming back
You're never coming back
(No, you're never coming)
And when you go, you're never coming back
(No, you're never coming)
You're never coming back
You're never coming back
(No, you're never coming)
[Outro]
Being young ain't easy but it's better than being old
'Cause the youth is wasted on me
And that is what I'm told
