admiral fallow - building as foreign lyrics

how we ended up here with the start we had amazes me
me from humble backyard brawl and smiles to zero on the gages
those tea leaves, a paper straw, a nylon fumble, a shaky jaw
coz we wore boots and football strips
some strange clothes for a first kiss
and i’ll point out the signs
the ones that people that don’t know don’t care a jot for
double hedges, a single shop, that square of gr-ss that we wrestled on

i love to come back; it’s making me tall
but when i get there there’s nothing at all
owned the foundations and brick by brick you built a home for a family

all those coats on the stand, like a cl-ster of people hand in hand, hang at odds with the sods who inhabit them
we marked our heights by the door
and sat the read-through in that september storm
sadder still to return each winter hoping to find something more than a building full of strangers
the living room soaked up more tears than it’s had conversations

i love to come back it’s making me tall
but when i get there there’s nothing at all
owned the foundations and brick by brick you built a home for a family, oh

i love to come back it’s making me tall
but when i get there there’s nothing at all
fly past the red bricks in double time
to find a building as foreign as if it never was mine

heartbeat rises as i go down
down to that beacon in the open ground
a wreckage
heartbeat rises and no surprise
that we’ve got hunger in your open eyes
you’ll be glad that you came

heartbeat rises as i go down
down to that beacon in the open ground
a wreckage
heartbeat rises
