A Peak You Reach - Badly Drawn Boy

No sign of life

Pulsing through these ageing veins

I bet at your age

That’s easier for you to say

Forcing answers into questions

And worrying that you might stop breathing

On and on we sift

Through alphabets of life

That never get us anywhere anyway

I’d like you to feel we have the best intentions

I want you to know

That I know it’s not easy

I want you to know

That I know it’s not easy

Easy, easy

Then there’s a peak you reach

Out to somebody

That’s never even there

Somebody that you may hope

That they might care

From nearby health

Or distant welfare

I’m pleased to hear

That you’re warm cos I’m freezing

Yeah, I’m freezing

Cool

I don’t wanna be alone

Is that out of the question

I’d like a happy home

Is that too obvious

Quit being pushed around

Stand on my feet

And kick all these losers

Out of my street

I’ve been losing confidence

In the heat

Just when I’m feeling the strength

I get weak

I’ve been losing confidence

In the heat

Just when I’m feeling the strength

I get weak

Then there’s a peak you reach

Out to somebody

A peak you reach

That’s never even there

A peak you reach

I’d like you to feel we’ve

Reached our peak

A peak you reach
