lyrics

CIGARETTES AND STAMPS

There are no dreams left in this town
just aimlessly wondering around
and some of us left
and some of us stayed
some of us grew
and some of us decayed
but there are no dreams left in this town
no dreams left

You and I, and I and you
and all the the things that we went through
the love letters that you sent me
with your last pennies
all you really needed to stay sane
were cigarettes and stamps.

You were always a romantic
you were always an extremist
you were always a romantic
and you always stick to your guns.

There are not dreams left in this heart
I left home and I never went back
I was always the outsider
I was always too easy going
Now the cracks in my plans they are showing
and there are no dreams left.

I don’t care if you don’t mind,
of all the things we left behind
We thought we had all the time in the world
days of dreaming where our lives could take us
While the coffee burnt on the stove
but neither of us noticed

You were always a romantic
I was always too easy going
You always stuck to your guns
I always went with the flow.
Flow-oh-oh-oh-oh (x4)

I never was a perfectionist
Never any good at making concrete plans
I was never one for working things out
I follow my fleeting heart, my head so full of doubt
Move on, carry on, there ain’t no such thing as the one (x2)

There are no regrets in this heart
I tried my best, though not very hard
I never had ambition
I never came to fruition

There are no dreams left in this city
and everyone is vacuous and pretty
some of us leave
and some us stay
some of us grow
and some of us decay
but there are no dreams left in this heart
no dreams left.
