The Quiet Life (Acoustic)
My heads against the window
Headlights hurting tired eyes
Street lamps breaking shadows
Stars missing from the sky
One in a hundred million
Blinded by naivety
And its just my opinion
But nothing's making sense to me
No more fast lane no more slow trains home
I couldn't remain in those dull grey tones
So I put my roots down in this small town and it's not so bad
I've learned that less is more than everything I had
While city dreamers are dreaming in their air-conditioned cells
I'll be down here taking all this for myself
Cos all I need are back roads and views and I'll be alright
Yeh I've been saved by the quiet life
And now I'm reminiscing
About the times in years gone by
Served time in the city
Never asking myself why
I spent my time pretending
Meanwhile planning my escape
Feeling patience ending
Dreams of the country taking shape
No more fast lane no more slow trains home
I couldn't remain in those dull grey tones
So I put my roots down in this small town and it's not so bad
I've learned that less is more than everything I had
While city dreamers are dreaming in their air-conditioned cells
I'll be down here taking all this for myself
Cos all I need are back roads and views and I'll be alright
Yeh I've been saved by the quiet life
Cos I landed squarely on what people rarely find
And it's not perfection but I don't really mind
So I put my roots down in this small town and it's not so bad
I've learned that less is more than everything I had
While city dreamers are dreaming in their air-conditioned cells
I'll be down here taking all this for myself
Cos all I need are back roads and views and I'll be alright
All I need are back roads and views and I'll be alright
Yeh I've been saved by the quiet life
Headlights hurting tired eyes
Street lamps breaking shadows
Stars missing from the sky
One in a hundred million
Blinded by naivety
And its just my opinion
But nothing's making sense to me
No more fast lane no more slow trains home
I couldn't remain in those dull grey tones
So I put my roots down in this small town and it's not so bad
I've learned that less is more than everything I had
While city dreamers are dreaming in their air-conditioned cells
I'll be down here taking all this for myself
Cos all I need are back roads and views and I'll be alright
Yeh I've been saved by the quiet life
And now I'm reminiscing
About the times in years gone by
Served time in the city
Never asking myself why
I spent my time pretending
Meanwhile planning my escape
Feeling patience ending
Dreams of the country taking shape
No more fast lane no more slow trains home
I couldn't remain in those dull grey tones
So I put my roots down in this small town and it's not so bad
I've learned that less is more than everything I had
While city dreamers are dreaming in their air-conditioned cells
I'll be down here taking all this for myself
Cos all I need are back roads and views and I'll be alright
Yeh I've been saved by the quiet life
Cos I landed squarely on what people rarely find
And it's not perfection but I don't really mind
So I put my roots down in this small town and it's not so bad
I've learned that less is more than everything I had
While city dreamers are dreaming in their air-conditioned cells
I'll be down here taking all this for myself
Cos all I need are back roads and views and I'll be alright
All I need are back roads and views and I'll be alright
Yeh I've been saved by the quiet life
