Charlton - Sleave

Waking up in Charlton

Plan the night by sleeping in

Riverdale a summer dive

Salad days in the seven five

Shouting out obscenities

Your brother’s fake a remedy

Lost track of the girls we loved

But always sure of

Idols on our shirts

Drinking till it hurts

Dares to pass the time

Underweight but feeling fine

Movie nights on Buckroe beach

Holding hands at the roller rink

Your single mom was such a mess

Sat at home in her party dress

Giving in to peer pressure

Stay in school to come out worse

Touch the stove just to be sure

And late at night we’re

Sneaking out for fun

Bands inside our lungs

Back in bed by dawn

Never even gone from

Broken homes

You kept so close

Like a first kiss

Before things turn to

Shit and tears

Those teenage years

That felt so tough

But my hindsight

Says I’m stuck

Says I’m stuck

My hindsight says I’m stuck

Says I’m stuck

My hindsight says I’m stuck
