about

Recorded during the coronavirus crisis, this is a 'lockdown-live' version. Each band member took one take performing their parts over Kidd's acoustic performance of the song, without being able to hear the final results until it was all edited together. Appears in the band's #TuesdayTunes series on social media platforms: www.youtube.com/watch?v=POPkZyQVb9k

lyrics

This is what it feels like waiting
Will I ever run out of patience?
Scarlet's violence is hard to take
But it's all that we've known for so long we can't say

Our lives ran in parallel lines
Until that's all we've got inside
It's who we are now
And you can't go back home

This is what it feels like waiting
Trying not to run out of patience
Violet's shy but I think that she's kind
Emerald's getting jealous with her beautiful eyes

Our lives ran in parallel lines
Until that's all we've got inside
It's who we are now
And you can't go back home
And you can't go back home
And you can't go back home
And you can't go back

Our lives ran in parallel lines
Until that's all we've got inside
It's who we are now
And you can't go back home
And you can't go back home
And you can't go back home
