We were the kings and queens of Longford town
When we wandered around
And we would slip away to the mall
Or the shopping centre, shall
We make this dice roll
I never found my soul 
In any of the boys I met
Til I found you in a state of regret
Mired by your own burning timber
But the flames warm my hands and the cinders
Throw light upon my darkened frame
What did you say your name
Was 
Because
It was a beautiful echo
Is it something that we wreck though 
When we fight and storm
Ten years later and what once was warm 
Now burns my skin
So I close the door on him 
Is it something that I regret? 
No, but I still cannot forget
The sound of his breath
As he drew in a gasp
As I twirl the asp 
Between my thumbs
I really thought you were the one
But you ruled yourself out 
Of that qualification and my mouth
Can’t seem to hold in the truth
That I loved you in our youth 
So I just cut the line
And if you want to call me that’s just fine
But you won’t reach me on that number 
And if we were younger
We could chalk it up to our age
Now my blackboard is this page
As I write you over and over 
And I don’t even know her 
So I keep my financial distance
And your resistance 
Is not needed, my friend
The beginning of this was the end
