Whippet
Track 8
Whippet came about after a conversation with a friend at the pub. There's a hard divide at my age, some friends are buying houses, getting married, taking more traditional career paths and some are still living with their parents which is where I'm at.
There's nothing wrong with that either but sometimes comparison creeps in and leaves me wondering what path life's taking me on. This songs about the urgency I feel as I grow older and time that floats by.
Lyrics
Left like a whippet
Is that my deal to scarper with fear
I could write lines of truth
Act proud but I'm hiding the news
Bolt from the blue
Quicksand laughing
Oh there's beauty in grafting
But the romance soon wears thin
It's fine when it's fine, but I'd rather be real with you
I'm grasping the neck of all of my friends singing I deserve the same as you
I'm grasping the neck of all of my friends singing I deserve the same as you
Ripped up hands, next to a nail parlor
I wonder what they think of me
Will they know just what I need
It's fine when it's fine, but I'd rather be real with you
I'm grasping the neck of all of my friends singing I deserve the same as you
I'm grasping the neck of all of my friends singing I deserve the same as you
I'm grasping the neck of all of my friends singing I deserve the same as you
I'm grasping the neck of all of my friends singing I deserve the same as you
It’s fine when it’s fine but i’d rather be real with you
I'm grasping the neck of all of my friends singing I deserve the same as you
I'm grasping the neck of all of my friends singing I deserve the same as you
I'm grasping the neck of all of my friends singing I deserve the same as you
I'm grasping the neck of all of my friends singing I deserve the same as you
