Redemption Lyrics - England Keep My Bones - Frank Turner

I was walking home to my house through the snow from the station 

When the Springsteen came clear in my headphones with a pertinent question 

Oh is love really real and do any of hope for redemption? 

Or are we are merely biting our time down to the lonely conclusions? 

Darling let me take your hand as I talk you through this 

How loneliness edged into deep seated psychosis 

Lying awake in crowded hotel rooms focused on tape hiss, 

With my failings laid clear on the ceiling 

I don't think I can do this 

I don't think I can do this 

Well I tried so hard to not turn into my father 

But if I only ever skip out his choices will I ever choose better? 

Oh the sad truth is the grass it will always seem greener 

So I left you alone in a restaurant in London in winter 

You deserved better 

Adam Trask is on my back and in my ears 

Sound comes clear and brings the awful truth that I can't stand what I've done to you 

And it's written clear in my diary today should have been our anniversary 

But I'm far way and I'm far apart 

And you're back home with a broken heart 

And loves is real and I can escape 

I only ever have myself to blame 

These failures shift and save me in the night 

Like a fever I can't break, try as I might 

Wake me darling I need you to take me home 

But I know in the end redemption is mine and mine alone 

So if each of us is made of a tally of mistakes and successes 

Then that hour in the restaurant makes my score less than impressive 

But each can be redeemed with the courage by which he confesses 

So darling I miss you, your music and your musk and your kisses 

I don't think I can do this
