Badly Drawn Boy - A Peak You Reach Lyrics

No sign of life, pulsing through these aging veins
I bet it's your age that's easier for you to say
Forcing answers into questions
And worrying that you might stop breathing

On and on we sift through alphabets of life
That never get us anywhere, anyway
I'd like you to feel we have the best intentions
And I want you to know that I know it's not easy

I want you to know that I know it's not easy

Easy, easy

Then there's a peak you reach

I'll tell somebody that's never even there
Somebody that you may hope that they might care
From nearby health or distant wealth fare
I'm pleased to hear that you're warm 'cause I'm freezing

Yeah, I'm freezing
Cool

I don't wanna be alone, is that out of the question
I'd like a happy home, is that too obvious
Quit being pushed around, stand on my feet
And kick all these losers out of my street

I've been losing confidence in the heat
Just when I'm feeling the strength I get weak
Just when I'm feeling the strength I get weak

Then there's a peak you reach

I'll tell somebody, a peak you reach
That's never even there, a peak you reach
I'd like you to feel we've reached our peak

Peak you reach
