We Could Have Been Nobody - lyrics by Nick Leet

so afraid, like you do
sitting in your chair as empty as a room
summer days couldn't come too soon
darkness at 6 o' clock leaves me screaming at the bastard moon

i don't know you, like i did
i want to know you, like i did
but times are changing, like 18 to a kid

summer babe plays out loud
reminds me of a time that's so far from me
did all you could, nothing to do
sitting in a late night restaurant wishing there was more then you

scream out loud, broken cupboard door
some days are okay and somedays are like a war
had it good, born with this brain
that tells me i'm not good enough
that all of this could go away.
