Standing (Where Cabs Turn Left) - Remaster 2021

about

July 2018.

lyrics

There were piles of rubble, they threw it all in a skip
I wouldn't expect you to jump right fucking in
The crane sways from side to side, it rocks from back to forth
Flicking quickly through a book of quick fixes and realise I've broke my heart

It's not a case of goodbye, and it's not a case of me needing time
It's just how these things tend to go
We're not the people we met and I'm not the person you left

Now machinery rises, it blocks the sunshine
I think about what that means
Some kind of symbolic reflection of how we'd feel
You'd come here slightly uncertain and be caught slightly off-guard
And I'd say "Yep, that's how it is now!"
Shrug my shoulders like you'd not done your research

It's not a case of goodbye, and it's not a case of me needing time
It's just how these things tend to go
We're not the people we met and I'm not the person you left
It's not a case of goodbye, and it's not a case of me needing time
It's just how these things tend to go
We're not the people we met and I'm not the person you left

(There is a form of peace you can derive from farewells,
full stops give the reader a chance to breathe.
It hurts to love the empty space created by loss, but it is not the empty space - it is still what came before.
Out of the darkness, you're presented with a reminder.
Your lips form a smile against your better judgement, you didn't even realise it was happening.
And it hits you that you're somewhere new: standing where cabs turn left and you don't recognise a thing.
To beginnings and endings, and the wisdom to know the difference).
