about

Taken from Liz's fourth album, 'Warm In The Darkness', released in 2012.

lyrics

I ain’t too good when I’m sober
My weary head it won’t let me rest
It never seems to be over
The demons crouching beneath my breast

I got a job in the city
Making coffee for cops and crims
Hung-over, shaking and shitty
Until I got that bottle between my lips

So if you go, would you take me with you
‘Cos I want to know how it feels to leave
I saw the future like a chasm below me
And honey it’s a long way down

We go out drinking on Monday
Graffiti shining on the rain slicked streets
With cigarettes and a week’s pay
And friends who drink just as hard as me

We talk shit ‘til we’re thrown out
Go back to Jimmy’s and smoke some weed
This ain’t no kind of a blowout
We’ll do the same thing every night this week

So if you go, would you take me with you
‘Cos I want to know how it feels to leave
I saw the future like a chasm below me
And honey it’s a long way down
