The Signal

I understand why you got up and on the fast lane

Express conga line to underline the last name

It seems we're behind and we don't wanna start late

This adrenaline is meddling with the heartrate

Some of the list well it's unticked and can't wait

Can't wait to sit still and can't break

Can't shake the shit, cos through it all we

Still partake in it, facing it like we haven't lost faith in it

Of course you got stakes in it, it's not a matter of you

Wasting it, like black crude in Kuwait and it

Cat 'o' nine tails rat-racing it

Spend all our days in it, raising it

Cut to the paper chase and it gets cold

Gets sold like fools gold gets extolled

Your absence is felt tenfold

And if you don't know know that you're welcome home behold...

We've been through too much to not be blunt

And if I didn't give a shit I'd probably just front

That's why I'm sending out the signal

(One two can you hear me?)

I understand the need to plant seeds

The need to just leave cos life is lightspeed

Get it all together dot the 'I's and cross the Ts

I've not got the key nor philosophies like Socrates

We haven't always been the perfect fit but,

It ain't a contract either party need to rip up

Don't want no mix-up you could get a lift up

Nobody decapitated others over hiccups

You're the kind of person that you notice when they're gone

And the little hand tocks as the clock ticks on

And I miss that song that we sung so long ago

I know a little place you can dock your boat

You're not Ronnie Biggs you're really not on the run

It's like I haven't seen you since the Rabbitohs won

So welcome back whenever you come

I see your silhouette in the sun

Look I can't stand the distance

I'll give up all preconditions

All will be forgiven

And if you... please come home

Okay I said it

Look I can't stand the distance

I'll give up all preconditions

All will be forgiven

And if you... please come home

We've been through too much to not be blunt

And if I didn't give a shit I'd probably just front

That's why I'm sending out the signal

(One two can you hear me?)
