November Lyrics by Ryan O’Reilly

The Northern Line

0

[Verse 1]
I dreamed that I was waiting
For a bus in northeast London
Late last night, it was November
And I had so far to go
I was awoken by the aircraft
And this melancholic weather
And your distance cracking voice tell me to let this
Whole thing go

I hear the beating, pounding rhythms
Of this wristwatch that I wear
And I've not outgrown adolescence
Nor escaped my first grey hair
She knows this band that just got signed
And tour all the time
I ask her how she thinks I'm doing
And she said "at best, just fine"

[Chorus]
But you'll never change the world
With your songs and your guitar
There are people half your age
And they're going twice as far
And everybody wants me
But I'm tied right down to you
When you finally go under
You know that I'll drown too


[Verse 2]
A mid-november moon
Has been hoisted in the sky
And it's smiling at me crooked
As the world goes drifting by
As the glowing burning leaves
Dance to the tune the traffic plays
The wind it murmurs rhythms of
What she always says


[Chorus]
That you'll never change the world
With your songs and your guitar
There are people half your age
And they're going twice as far
And everybody wants me
But I'm tied right down to you
When you finally go under
You know that I'll drown too


[Refrain]
I'm afraid
I'm afraid
I'm afraid

I'm afraid
I'm afraid
I'm afraid


[Verse 3]
And I went down to the club
And a buzz band were a bore
Cardboard cutout manequins
Singing what I've heard before
It was all so self aware
And all so very now
The crowd they were ecstatic
And then they all turned around


[Chorus]
To scream you'll never change the world
With your songs and your guitar
There are people half your age
And look they're going twice as far
And everybody wants her
But she's tied right down to you
When you finally go under
You know that she'll drown too


[Refrain]
I'm afraid
I'm afraid
I'm afraid

I'm afraid
I'm afraid
I'm afraid

Oh I'm afraid
I'm afraid
I'm afraid

Oh I'm afraid
I'm afraid
I'm afraid
