  • Skies like angels turn to rust
    We hide inside our pickup trucks
    Thoughts heavy like aeroplanes
    Come crashing down and burst in flames
    Memories, I'd cash them in for peace of mind and some discipline

    [Chorus]
    No turning back
    I'm starting to mend
    A fortunate man I've always been
    I tear at my heart
    If I don't concede I'm only as good as you allow me to be

    Friends will come and friends will go
    You, my friend, own my soul
    Raindrops plummet from the sky
    Inside my lungs a battle cry

    [Chorus]

    Oh I'm starting, starting, starting to mend
    As you allow me to be
    Oh I'm starting, starting, starting to mend
    As you allow me to be
    Oh I'm starting, starting, starting to mend

    Skies like angels turn to rust
    We hide inside our pickup trucks Writer/s: DUNCAN COUTTS, JEREMY TAGGART, RAINE MAIDA, STEVE MAZUR
