lyrics

Sitting on a pavement outside a house that really looks like it could be home.
No one’s home
They’ve all gone away on holiday and left us behind
Promise me you’ll sit here and sing the words to our favourite teenage songs that I forgot
I’ll just play guitar and harmonise until we blow our voices out and every word becomes a faded squeaky shout

Can you hear us at the back
Can you hear us at the back
We’re screaming as loud as we can

So it looks like I’ll be spending the night.
Even though I don’t have my sleeping bag, my backpack, my toothbrush, toothpaste, socks and boxer shorts, it still beats sleeping in the car
And if you stay I’ll pour you a drink and we can raise a glass to that time we watched our favourite band and then formed a band so we could be like them and blow our voices out

Can you hear us at the back
Can you hear us at the back
We’re screaming as loud as we can

I know you’ll leave before we play, but you still came
And I don’t mind, time is finite, I’ll find that out someday
We’ll mix mixed metaphors with chords we have to play
And try convince the kids we still have things to say

Can you hear us at the back
Can you hear us at the back
We’re screaming as loud as we can

So please don’t leave without us
