Princes Hwy

The Princes Highway
Was so quiet at the dawn
You can't make it on your own
Have you thought of going home?
Leavin' everyone alone

Don't cry
Come inside
You can't hide the fact my heart is
Melting by the fire
It's true, it's true
You never promised a happy ever after
'Cause you don't know how

These childhood streets
Are wider and drier than I remember
Down here is where we used to live
The phone rings, but no one ever answers
It's been ringing here for a thousand years

Don't cry
Come inside
And you can't hide
The fact my heart is slowly
Melting by the fire
It's true, it's true
You never promised a happy ever after
'Cause you don't know how

And it's now
You expect all the damage to stop
When you're digging around those parts
You said you'd never mention
Well it's true
What they said you put me through
I'm fine, how are you?
And congratulations

Five years later
It must be getting close to dawn
I think of all those things I've done
And all the places in the sun
The shadows fall apart in time

I'll be fine
But I can't hide
The fact my heart is slowly
Melting by the fire
It's true, it's true
I was never promised a happy ever after
'Cause you don't know how
I know you don't know how
