Rescue

I was your first kiss

Riverside Brisbane

We were so timid and shy

You were my best friend

Kept each other dreaming

Always talking bout leaving this little town

And dancing in your living room

Is one of my favourite places in the world

What a thing to do, to fall in love with you

Us against the world you and I

And I tried to rescue you

I tried and tried and tried and tried, but what more could I do?

16 years young I was holding you tight and

You said her cancer had spread and couldn't be undone

And I was standing in the backyard, the one we used to smoke in

It was where we held her wake, after she died

And dancing in your living room

Is one of my favourite places in the world

What a thing to do, to fall in love with you

Us against the world you and I

And I tried to rescue you

I tried and tried and tried and tried, but what more could I do?
