Faith Avenue

I feel sick with familiarity
Can't you see these trivialities?
Every Jack and Jill in the rumour mill
Every side-eye by the sea

Don't you crave a little change?
Don't you want something new, and fresh, and strange?
Every long walk home and coffee to go
Every cold and short exchange

I'm losing my faith
I don't wanna stay
But home's on this lane

We've been gated off from what's true
Man, I wanna leg it with you
You're stuck in a funhouse with no view
Scandals and hairdos
Déjà vu
My life won't start on Faith Avenue
But send all my love to Faith Avenue
(I'm losing my faith)

I got bored of the questions and the doubt
I'm in a maze and my time is running out
I know every light and shop closing time
Every dull face in the crowd

I'm losing my faith
I don't wanna stay
But it's been engraved

We've been gated off from what's true
Man, I wanna leg it with you
You're stuck in a funhouse with no view
Scandals and hairdos
Déjà vu
My life won't start on Faith Avenue
But send all my love to Faith Avenue
(I'm losing my faith)

We can only move up and down on uneven ground
We can only move away from this town that don't make a sound
What goes comes around

And that's what's true
We're so young, we have time to lose
And maybe we'll come back for the sea view, schools
And the way that you came through
Thanks for the memories, Faith Avenue
The colours and silence, Faith Avenue
(I'm losing my faith)
