	We drove out to the Pearly Glades The only place we can be sometimes You always make it worth the wait We're face to face with your hand in mine Some things you know But often find it better not to ask Try to let go And pray to God our moment's long to pass I know I'm gonna end up Living on my own down by the southside Holding onto no one for the long rides Knowing I'll be waiting for a long long time You make it easier Relieve the urge to be in my cage I'm always up and down When you're around I don't feel so strange I'll never know what keeps me up in orbit looking down Perhaps it's so There's something at the centre left unfound I know I'm gonna end up Living on my own down by the southside Holding onto no one for the long rides Knowing I'll be waiting for a long long time When I'm on side Pouring into you when I'm in landslide I'll never find the time as hard as I try We all have a torch to burn and this here's mine And that's fine

about

This song dwells on the homesickness and general disconnect from regular life that can come from being in a touring band. The demands of being a musician can put both literal and figurative distance between you and other people in your life. Your touring bubble starts to feel like the only people you can truly relate to, and this can start to feel quite lonely and alienating. In the chorus of this song, I cast my eye forward in time and consider where the consequences of this lifestyle will leave me, while also accepting that this is the life I’ve chosen and I know it’s what I’m meant to do. The song is built around the keyboard part which I first showed the band on the piano at Pearl Street Coop while we were at SXSW. - Jack Martin
