Bittersweet Nostalgia

V1

The back seat is taken

Beer cans from day drinking

Too young and scared to say something

When one more ciggie gets sparked up

You're rolling down the window

In another floodlit car park

Pitch black bedroom

Playground for my ghosts

Is that my heart beating

Or those I fear the most

Another lost parent

No love like the bottle

Ive seen people risk it all

Close their eyes when they fall

V2

Another cold June

Turns the English blue

Drink their feelings

Cos talking's too true

My mum went and hit him

Across the face with her handbag

And I was mad

Just cos he's my dad

Chorus

We would drive all night

Just to score

We would drive all night

And then you would fall

We would drive all night

For a little more

We would drive all night

And then you would fall

Bittersweet Nostalgia

(Ive been driving all night

Running from my past life

As the tired headlights

Blind my dead eyes)

V 3

And the drinking didn't stop

Thought it was something i did

If I could be a better son

Maybe I'd be forgiven

The tension made me nervous

So i'd go out with my friends

Some of them are still out there

Not knowing how the party ends

Chorus

We would drive all night

Just to score

We would drive all night

And then you would fall

We would drive all night

For a little more

We would drive all night

And then you would fall

Bittersweet nostalgia

(Ive been driving all night

Running from my past life

As the tired headlights

Blind my dead eyes)

Bridge/ end

I couldn't live without you

I couldn't live without you

I couldn't live without you

How could I live without you

I couldn't live without you

I couldn't live without

bittersweet nostalgia
