Dear Justin, I know it's been a long time
Remember all those nights we spent sitting up
Talking in your front room About leaving this worn out world
And starting again far away in a better place
Well that's where I am now, but still thinking about you
I'm never going back there
I'm never going back the bad old world
I was travelling with Laurel way up on the north coast
She's got family living up here in a nearby town
We found a piece of land that looks out towards the north sea
Islands across the bay
And the Sun is shining on the water today
As I look out of our front door
And I'm never going back there
I'm never going back to the bad old world
Are you still scared of the future?
Well that doesn't surprise me
You could come up and stay here a while
Back off from the killing wheel
I used to think it was me who'd somehow sold out
Or given in on some almighty cause
But what difference would it make
It feels good to be out here
And I'm never going back there
I'm never going back to the bad old world
