lyrics

On the grandest night of the season
I got a bin bag full of reasons
To turn tail and get lost
Last year was a blast
But I can't live in the past
Now I'm truly counting the cost

And there ain't no map could lead us home

On the grandest night of the season
I found myself believin'
After just one flick of your fringe
I put my doubts to one side
To get along for the ride
But even now those words make me cringe

And there ain't no map could lead us home, no

On the grandest night of the season
Looking through a jaundiced prism
Of a plastic that won't decompose
The ground below us is frazzled
We're up the creek without a paddle
No one knows where the shit truck goes

And there ain't no map could lead us home

On the grandest night of the season
at home with the demons
Sermonising for the moths and the beers
A box of candles never burned
A love given but not earned
There's always another year

And there ain't no map could lead us home
Cos there aint no roads to take us home
No there ain't no map could lead us home
Cos there ain't no roads to take us
Ain't no road’s gonna take us
Ain't no roads to take us home
Take us home
