Bridge Dog - Gone South Lyrics

Close the door and go on home
There's nothing left to hide, you've seen it all
You wont be laughing anymore
When all that's left is sincerity within these walls

I've been passing days
Wondering when things fell out of place
But you're preoccupied
You can't see that I'm caught up in a tide

How come you're not around
When the days start getting cold?
Do the birds flying south
Remind you it's time to head back home?
I drove to the end of the road
Just to see how far it goes
And then I listened to the radio
For where you might've gone

I'm just waiting for a sign
Something that'll help me rationalise
All these contradictions
Your self-deprecating humour in disguise
When I'm waiting in a line
And I'm always the last one to arrive
Your reckless disposition
You're jumping ship and you're leaving me behind

Try not to wear it on your sleeve
A vicious circle by design
Does my curiosity
Make you trivialise your life?
All the things that you despise
I let you win another fight
And what is left of me
You'll think of how to spin into a lie

Calm down, you're falling out
It's all starting to get old
Blown up, it's all going south
At least you get to crawl back home
I drove to the end of the road
Just to see how far it goes
And then I listened to the radio
