about

Written and recorded during September and October 2021.

The song provides an account of the end of a relationship, with the singer being the injured party who didn't realise he was being dumped. The chorus explores the age old question about being to turn back time and change the outcome

Recorded and Mixed at Dusty Shed Studios in Wiltshire (UK)

lyrics

When the rats have left this sinking ship
You’ve called time and said thats it
looks like we’re out of tomorrows
So you can pack up your sorrows
And leave me here
Just leave me here

If I could change your mind
I don’t think I should
If I could re-bind these ties
I don’t think that I would
Did we just run out of time?
I never thought we could
Oh well
Never mind

You left me here as my world crashed down
I turned in circles, whilst you turned around
And all this time you had the exits covered
With the chance your plan would be discovered
To leave me here
Just leave me here

If I could change your mind
I don’t think that I should
If I could re-bind these ties
I don’t think that I would
Did we just run out of time?
I never thought we could
Oh well
Never mind

When the days turn to nights
And weeks into months
I watch the seasons change
but everything else stays the same
And I’ll still be here

If I could change your mind
I don’t think I should
If I could re-bind these ties
I don’t think that I would
Did we just run out of time?
I never thought we could
If I could change your mind
I don’t think that I should
If I could re-bind these ties
I don’t think that I would
Did we just run out of time?
I never thought we could
Oh well
Never mind
