Thurso - Over The Wall

I made my escape

So I could believe in fate

And I tried counting all the days

And felt good for trying

I made my escape

Under the cover of an old lampshade

So that I could see the shape

Of a new horizon

I turn twenty and my dad

Turns fifty at my back

He makes up for all I lack

In facing darkness

But while I’m young and thin

I’ll keep rushing round the bends

And I won’t be slowing down

'Til I reach the ocean

See how far we came (As far as you want to come)

But we’re still the same (Not like the other ones)

I’d rather act my age (I'll be your only son)

See how far we came

It’s nothing that I’ve said

But it’s everything I meant

Everything that I depend on

Is slowly dying

And up among the hills

I don’t need no fucking pills

I can drink away the ills

Of a working summer

See how far we came (As far as you want to come)

But we’re still the same (Not like the other ones)

You know I’ll never change (I'll be your only son)

See how far we came

How can I believe anything they say, anything they say?

How can I believe anything they say, anything they say?
