frank turner - east finchley lyrics

[verse 1]
when they put up the barriers at east finchley underground
at the end of the tunnel that led to your road
they cut off my route to the only safe place i’d found
it cost money i didn’t have for me to go home

[verse 2]
and weren’t you just a vision in the summer of ’97?
sixteen and shaking with antic+p+tion in a world in which we still could be anything
and i was a visionary always making my plans and always so very
convinced of their greatness, saying i know you’re going to hate this
but today we jump a train and go adventuring

[chorus]
if i followed those tracks, would they take me back?
if i jumped the barriеrs they put up between us when i got off thе train
could i start again?

[verse 3]
when did all that change? when did the world get so hostile, start feeling so strange?
i never stopped shirking, you never started working, somehow we never grew up to be
responsible commuters, lost in the crowd, glued to their computers
enduring their journeys, their thoughts never turning
to futures they’d decided were not meant to be

[chorus]
if i followed those tracks, would they take me back?
if i jumped the barriers they put up between us when i got off the train
could i start again?
see frank turner live
get tickets as low as $44
[verse 4]
who could have dreamed that our lives would have turned out like this?
i used to need to tell jesus what happened when we kissed
how can you accept that decisions cannot be unmade?
if we followed those tracks, would we remember how to be brave?

[verse 5]
well they put up those barriers at east finchley underground
at the end of the tunnel that led to your road
but these days i buy tickets, and i don’t see you around
and the place where you used to live is no longer home
