Sideline - Jake Morley

Down this drink

Drink this town

Burn this paper

Smoke this town

Home to strangers

Thick with skin

Each a fortress

To live in

Find one love

One is here

Choose one face

Let one near

One is gracious

One is true

One is lonely

One is you

Even now as I try to push you away

I’m hoping I could stay a little while with you

But inside you’d just see my dust in a trail

Cos I’m running so fast away

If you can’t commit to one

With others on your mind

You’re gonna end up with none

On the sideline

All these souls

Just one place

Choose one smell

Choose one taste

Meet one here

Meet one’s mum

Not quite right

Not so wrong

Even now as I try to push you away

I’m hoping I could stay a little while with you

But inside I could dance between drops of rain

Cos I’m running so fast away

If you can’t commit to one

With others on your mind

You’re gonna end up with none

On the sideline

All these hearts

All these minds

All these loves

All these lives

Think too hard

Look too long

One is waiting

One is gone

Even now as I try to push you away

I’m hoping that you’ll stay a little while with me

But inside I’ve already boarded the train

Cos I’m headed so far away

If you can’t commit to one

With others on your mind

You’re gonna end up with none

On the sideline
