Young Drunk

one day there will come a time when the person you are named after dies and all of a sudden you're the only one left and out of something as insincere as pride you'll change the way you turned on time to remember the smiles as we stood out front of the little church the traffic just close enough to drown out whatever we heard the family say as they waved the hearse away and tonight i'm getting young drunk walking down the streets where i grew up knowing that they're to blame it all the red brick fences look the same i'm getting young drunk walking round the streets where i grew up knowing that they're to blame it all the red brick fences look the same whoa oh and all alone in the suburbs i can make as much noise as i want without disturbing more than the wind in the trees and passing cars and security lights guide my way home through the night i feel safe here and the neighbours aren't close enough to hate me and tonight i'm getting young drunk walking down the streets where i grew up knowing that they're to blame it all the red brick fences look the same i'm getting young drunk walking round the streets where i grew up knowing that they're to blame it all the red brick fences look the same whoa oh and i've finally found a home in a handful of people i was lucky enough to bump into we act like pessimists but we're in love with it and I?m in love with you and our tiny bed in the upstairs front room of a rundown terrace house which is obviously perfect as it sounds even in the summer when the cardboard window that you tape on everyday falls out and wakes us up and tonight i'm getting young drunk walking round the streets where i grew up knowing that they're to blame it all the red brick fences look the same i'm getting young drunk walking round the streets where i grew up knowing that they're to blame it all the red brick fences look the same whoa oh
