James Andrews - The Red Bar Lyrics

I met someone down on the pebble beach
And they said
Life is your story
And we stared out towards the sea
And I know all of the things I wished I'd done
So far, I can still do
I go back every night to that red bar
I sit and drink, stare out at the cars
Just watch the people move
And I know all of the things in the past
And the best things are always on the way

But where are they now?
I need the good things
Before they find me out
Maybe for the best

Walking the bright neon littered street
Despite its comfort
Still find it so ugly
The same as in a dream
Searching for that pure truth once again
It leaves me to ask
Not how, but when?

You can say I'm dreaming if you like
You can say I'm failing if you like
And I still think...

Where am I now?
I'd better go
Before this all shuts down
Maybe for the best

I met someone down on the pebble beach
And they said
Life is your story
And we stared out towards the sea
