Max Savage - Neither Orphan Nor Runaway (feat. Chelsea Lee) Lyrics

Leaving only makes you feel strange
It's the coming back'll drive you insane
No-one ever blame you if you never do nothing at all

It's an hour to the nearest train
More if you don't wanna be late
Gravel gives way to the rhythm of the radio

And you figure you can last three days
And then you'll find some place to stay
You got a cousin you can call get you dinner and your cigarettes

Tell your little sister you might
But there's nothing gonna make it alright
Too old to be an orphan and too young to be a runaway
Too old to be an orphan and too young to be a runaway

Bridges only ever burn down
Every time you try to leave town
Money got you worried but your courage is a ketamine

Lovers gonna leave their mark
Laying next to you in the dark
And maybe you remember what it's like to be a little mean

You'd be giving up a broken heart
You'll be headed to the boys in bars
And you've forgiven all the wasted hours
And the spaces in between

And you'll be living like a paperback
And you promise that you won't look back
But there's always little scrapes and cracks
Let the colour and the memories in

Reckon you can keep it in check
Cos no-one's tried to hassle you yet
Twenty two years and your looking for the long way down

Love is just another false start
And hope is just a hand in the dark
So run little runaway, run and you don't give it up easy

Bridges only ever burn down
Every time you try and leave town
Every time you say it
Every time you try and lead me astray

And maybe it's a matter of fact
But you don't wanna talk about that
To old to be an orphan and too young to be a runaway

You'd be giving up a broken heart
You'll be headed to the boys in bars
And you've forgiven all the wasted hours
And the spaces in between

And you'll be living like a paperback
And you promise that you won't look back
But there's always little scrapes and cracks
Let the colour and the memories in
