Ellie Alice and me
On the train, under the channel
Come on, come on and trade me seats
'Cause I can't sit facing backwards
She reads a dying magazine
And I'm so tired I can't sleep
On the other side, will I be reminded?
Paid in youth
Counting up the cost for the time rewinded
Paid in youth
And they'll be combing the beach
But we move like shadows in the fog
I scratch the ink off the receipt
Does she know that I'm already gone?
I don't know why I was nervous
I only want to deserve it
On the other side, will I be reminded?
Paid in youth
Counting up the costs for the time rewinded
Paid in youth
On the other side, will I be reminded?
Paid in youth
Counting up the costs for the time rewinded
Paid in youth
