building as foreign - admiral fallow lyrics

how we ended up here with the start we had amazes me
me from humble backyard brawl and smiles to zero on the gages
those tea leaves, a paper straw, a nylon fumble, a shaky jaw
coz we wore boots and football strips
some strange clothes for a first kiss
and i’ll point out the signs
the ones that people that don’t know don’t care a jot for
double hedges, a single shop, that square of gr-ss that we wrestled on

i love to come back; it’s making me tall
but when i get there there’s nothing at all
owned the foundations and brick by brick you built a home for a family

all those coats on the stand, like a cl-ster of people hand in hand, hang at odds with the sods who inhabit them
we marked our heights by the door
and sat the read-through in that september storm
sadder still to return each winter hoping to find something more than a building full of strangers
the living room soaked up more tears than it’s had conversations

i love to come back it’s making me tall
but when i get there there’s nothing at all
owned the foundations and brick by brick you built a home for a family, oh

i love to come back it’s making me tall
but when i get there there’s nothing at all
fly past the red bricks in double time
to find a building as foreign as if it never was mine

heartbeat rises as i go down
down to that beacon in the open ground
a wreckage
heartbeat rises and no surprise
that we’ve got hunger in your open eyes
you’ll be glad that you came

heartbeat rises as i go down
down to that beacon in the open ground
a wreckage
heartbeat rises
