If Ever I Stray // Frank Turner
If ever I stray from the path I follow
TAKE ME DOWN TO THE ENGLISH CHANNEL
THROW ME IN WHERE THE WATER IS SHALLOW
AND DRAG ME UP BACK TO SHORE!
Because love is free and life is cheap
AND AS LONG AS I’VE GOT ME A PLACE TO SLEEP
SOME CLOTHES ON MY BACK AND SOME FOOD TO EAT
THEN I CAN’T ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE!
So come on everybody sing it-
ONE TWO THREE FOUR!We’ve all have secrets that we hold inside
The worst little things that you never confide
The worst one of all that you never can hide
Is that you’re never quite as strong as you soundSo I’m sorry baby, for the times I’ve hurt you
Sorry friends, for the times I desert you
Most days it feels like I don’t deserve you
And I wonder that you’re all still around…
“But no one’s yet explained to me exactly what’s so great about slaving 50 years away on something that you hate about
Meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity, well, if that’s your road then take it
But it’s not the road for me
And if all you ever do with your life is photosynthesise, then you’ll deserve every hour of your sleepless nights that you waste wondering when you’re going to die”

“So come on let’s be young, let’s be crass enough to care
Let’s refuse to live and learn, let’s make all our mistakes again yes
And then darling, just for one day, we can fight and we can win
And if only for a little while, we could insist on the impossible”
“Oh but once we were young, and we were crass enough to care
But I guess you live and learn, we won’t make that mistake again”
