First Light, My Escapist

from Dead Letter Box EP by Slides

lyrics

And what if you were to stay an extra day.
Make it an even three,
One last coda.
A stone's throw from the water and I know,
We are just skin and questions.
Blindfold.
Casting around for that old magic.

Do you believe I can turn, this coin,
Into your missing bracelet.
I've got a bed set to burn.
At first light,
First light, My Escapist.

And I know the pace of things has changed,
but every day now I find myself staring into nothing.
And then i realise... This is the only thing I know about.
that man i could use, hearing your voice about now.

Do you believe I can turn, this coin,
Into your missing bracelet.
I've got a bed set to burn.
At first light,
First light, My Escapist.

Are you still unmoved?
Are you still unmoved?

Do you believe I can turn,
This round.
When d'ya get so faithless.
You know I walk into town,
At first light.
First light, My Escapist.
