Dart At the Map — The Futureheads

We’re leaving home this weekend on an aeroplane, We won’t be here on Monday when it starts again Go get ‘em boys, go get ‘em girls The family will be waiting when you return

The people with the flags don’t understand What it’s like to have a world in your hands Every night I go to sleep with someone watching me, Every night I go to sleep and have the same two dreams

Wonder what I see, the people don’t look like me The circuitry, I’m lying on my own in a field

There are people waiting at home for us Holding flowers, they’ll be standing at the gate for us There are people waiting at home for us Keeping a picture at the bedside just of us

I wake up every morning on the edge of fear I’m writing out a postcard, I wish you were here Every night I go to sleep with someone watching me Every night I cannot sleep ‘cause of the things I’ve seen

But try to treat me to coming home Back to the place where I belong Where the sound of shells is gone And where I wouldn’t have to sing this song

There are people waiting at home for us Holding flowers, they’ll be standing at the gate for us There are people waiting at home for us Keeping a picture by the bedside just of us

Threw a dart at the map, and we started to laugh
