We saw in the dawn from the roof of the bar
When nights become days and you've gone too far
We listened to songbirds and rush hour cars and welcomed in the day
You said, London in summertime is great,
On days like this I feel like I could escape
From things that I've done and mistakes that I've made.
I'd wash it all away
We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun, waiting for our night to end
It felt like one of us would come down hard and one of us would start again
It started out curious, it started out fun
We smoked in the woods when we were young
And secretly slipped something under our tongues
And danced the night away
And everyone stumbles on old cocaine
It burns out the flesh, and it burdens the brain
Til brown comes and whisks away your pain and you find you've lost your way
We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun, waiting for our night to end
It felt like one of us would come down hard and one of us would start again
Sink in the river for your death
Sleep with the fishes, draw no breath
Swallow forever til nothing's left
Take no rest
Oh my friend, if you made for the shore, you'd see us here, we're all waiting
Just cast your eyes down to the floor you'll see us here, we're waiting
Don't sink in the river for your death
You could sleep in the shade and draw some breath
Could start fresh tomorrow, leave what's left
Please draw breath, please draw breath
Let's let nights become days
So come down kid the roofs not safe now
All your friends are waiting for you to get some rest
