Lyrics

Hey little stranger
Won't you show me the way home
I've been awake for much longer
Than I care to remember
And this monkey on my back
Just won't leave me alone

If you send me your details
I'll be sure to pay you back
For all the trouble that I cause you
And the manners I lack
Cos at the junction where I function
I tend to fall to the side
And things creep from the woodwork
Leaving no place to hide

But it feels so noble they say
Being three weeks sober to the day
And at the end of this crushing mistake
Only lies heartbreak
Only lies heartbreak

Hey little brother
If you see me wandering out of here
One way or another
The devil in me might reappear
As over in my mind
I replace the things I left behind
And the pretence makes no sense
But is more acceptable I find

And it feels so noble they say
Being three years sober to the day
And at the end of this crushing mistake
Only lies heartbreak
Only lies heartbreak

I wouldn't take me at face value
My faces only let you down
But I'll try to make my presence tolerable
Just as long as I'm in town

Hey little sister
I think I've found my way home
Although it took me a little longer
I think I'm feeling much stronger
And I can't quite believe
That I made it on my own
You never gave me your details
And you never looked back
Guess all the trouble wasn't worth it
Nor the time that you lacked
Still at the junction where I function
I try to push things aside
And I ignore all the woodwork
And the places to hide

But it feels so noble in a way
Being sober until today
But at the end of this crushing mistake
Only lies heartbreak
It's all I can take
