dear justin i know it s been a long time remember all those nights we spent sitting up talking in your front room about leaving this worn out world and starting again far away in a better place well that s where i am now but still thinking about you ch i m never going back there i m never going back to the bad old world i was travelling with laurel way up on the north coast she s got family living up here in a nearby town we found a piece of land that looks out towards the north sea islands across the bay and the sun is shining on the water today as i look out of our front door ch i m never going back there i m never going back to the bad old world are you still scared of the future well that doesn t surprise me you could come up and stay here a while back off from the killing wheel i used to think it was me who d somehow sold out or given in on some almighty cause but what difference would it make it feels good to be out here ch i m never going back there i m never going back to the bad old world
