The Real Damage Lyrics - Last Minutes & Lost Evenings (cd W/bonus Dvd) - Frank Turner

I woke up on a sofa in an unfamiliar house, 

Surrounded by sleeping folks that I didn't know. 

On failing to find my friends, I decided that it was clearly time to go. 

So I made my way out of the door as quietly as I could - 

There was no one there I knew to say goodbye - 

Squinting in the sadly sobering sunshine of the Sunday morning light. 

I started the night with all my friends and I ended up alone, 

Oh yes I started out so happy now I'm hung-over and down. 

It was about then that I realized I was half-way through 

The best years of my life.

So I scanned the local landmarks, trying to find out where I was, 

And maybe even find a bus back home. 

I was longing for a shower, and for clean sheets, and a charger for my phone. 

And suddenly it hit me that I got paid this Friday last 

And so I rifled through my pockets for some change. 

But all I found was a packet of broken cigarettes and sinking sense of shame. 

I had to ask myself, well, 

Is it really worth it? 

Is any of this worth it? 

Well the whole thing's far from perfect, 

But I've yet to figure out a better way to spend my time.

Too many suits and dirty looks made me rack my brains, 

And the real damage started to sink in. 

It'd been quite a heavy weekend, but I could just about remember where I'd been. 

I stood on a street corner, and I felt a little sick. 

It was about then that I realized I was half-way through 

The first day of the week.
