Lyrics The Futureheads

The Futureheads

Dart at the Map

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 (6x)
