[Lyric] Mathew Street (Bebe Wood)

[Verse 1]
Bounding down Mathew Street
To a seagull melody
The smell of smoke and ale from last evening
Acquired taste of plum jerkum
Leather boots on linoleum
Reminders of the things that were once done

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you know I can easily
Compare the things between you and me
And treat your life like a book that I can read
And though I know that isn't fair
Retrospect's a burden I must bare
Collecting stories that aren't mine to share

[Chorus]
And though I know therе's an answer
To why I view the world with such romancе, oh
And maybe that is why some of you might have guessed
I'm stuck in a past that I
I've not lived before
[Verse 2]
I was running through the street
Cobblestone below my feet
Imagining if you were right there with me
And strange enough to my surprise
There was a moment where I realized
That you were already right there by my side

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause the truth is you didn't know
What the future was to hold
And you were just a normal 17 year old
So it's comforting, I suppose
To know that we were once on the same boat
Dreaming 'bout what lurks in the shadows

[Chorus]
And though I know there's an answer
To why I view the world with such romance, oh
And maybe that is why some of you might have guessed
I'm stuck in a past that I
I've not lived before

[Bridge]
And maybe there's a reason I'm here today
And that's to say the things you couldn't say
So when I hear those seagulls calling me
I'll just remember what happened to you and me
On Mathew Street, oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh
[Outro]
And though I know there's an answer
To why I view the world with such romance, oh
Maybe that is why some of you might have guessed
I'm stuck in a past that I
I've not lived before
