The Signal (Live)

I understand why you got up and on the fast lane
Express conga line to underline the last name
It seems we're behind and we don't wanna start late
This adrenaline is meddling with the heartrate
Some of the list well it's unticked and can't wait
Can't wait to sit still and can't break
Can't shake the shit, cos through it all we
still partake in it, facing it like we haven't lost faith in it
Of course you got stakes in it, it's not a matter of you
wasting it, like black crude in Kuwait and it
Cat 'o' nine tails rat-racing it
Spend all our days in it, raising it
Cut to the paper chase and it gets cold
Gets sold like fools gold gets extolled
Your absence is felt tenfold
And if you don't know know that you're welcome home behold...

We've been through too much to not be blunt
And if I didn't give a shit I'd probably just front
That's why I'm sending out the signal
(One two can you hear me?)

I understand the need to plant seeds
The need to just leave cos life is lightspeed
Get it all together dot the 'I's and cross the Ts
I've not got the key nor philosophies like Socrates
We haven't always been the perfect fit but,
It ain't a contract either party need to rip up
Don't want no mix-up you could get a lift up
Nobody decapitated others over hiccups
You're the kind of person that you notice when they're gone
And the little hand tocks as the clock ticks on
And I miss that song that we sung so long ago
I know a little place you can dock your boat
You're not Ronnie Biggs you're really not on the run
It's like I haven't seen you since the Rabbitohs won
So welcome back whenever you come
I see your silhouette in the sun

Look I can't stand the distance
I'll give up all preconditions
All will be forgiven
and if you... please come home
Okay I said it
Look I can't stand the distance
I'll give up all preconditions
All will be forgiven
and if you... please come home

We've been through too much to not be blunt
And if I didn't give a shit I'd probably just front
That's why I'm sending out the signal
(One two can you hear me?)
