The Pier Lyrics by Lenoy Barkai

Paper Crown

2023

[Verse]
They took a walk along the pier
And shared a single bottle of beer
And tried to figure out the way
She told him she had all these plans
Been reading far too much Ayn Rand
Was gonna go and make it big somewhere
[Pre-Chorus]
Living in a dream (what was she thinking?)
Just eighteen (and wanting to fit in)
Thought she’d caught his eye, but he had looked away
[Chorus]
Hey boy, do you ever think about her in the quiet hours on your own?
I know she had some dumb ideas, didn’t know the things she should have known
But I’ve noticed though she’s travellеd far and wide
It hasn’t turned out quite likе what she had in mind
[Verse]
They took a walk through Florentine
Found all the allies in between
The old graffiti and the peeling paint
He said he couldn’t wait to leave
That there was nothing to believe in here
That he had to get away
[Pre-Chorus]
Living in a dream (what was he thinking?)
Twenty-three (not wanting to fit in)
Thought he’d caught her eye, but she had looked away
[Chorus]
Hey girl, do you ever think about him in the quiet times when you’re alone?
I know he had some dumb ideas, didn’t know the things he should have known
But I’ve noticed though it’s been the longest time
He never left that neighbourhood behind
[Bridge]
And though the years have passed them by like strangers
And she’s older now than what he was back then
And though so much was left unsaid, they didn’t need the words to make amends
And so I think they’ll meet again
[Verse]
They took a walk along the shore
And all the things that came before
Faded like colours in the night
He seemed so happy, she was pleased
Mainly because it was so easy
Walking with him, side by side
[Bridge]
And though the years have passed them by like strangers
And she’s older now than what he was back then
And though so much was left unsaid, they didn’t need the words to make amends
And so I think they’ll meet again
[Chorus]
Hey boy, do you ever think about her in the quiet hours on your own?
I know she had some dumb ideas, didn’t know the things she should have known
But I thought I’d asked you seeing that you’re here:
Would you like to take a walk along the pier?
