Creeper - Novena lyrics

Humble moon, what now do I do?
A restaurants' plastic glass
At house party with your hip flask
Has he kept you precious like a locket?
The pale night alive through
Your jeans tight
Cigarette box outline in your pocket

We're in the bathroom and you
Perch on the sink
I begin to infatuate, exasperate, resuscitate
By day the cat sleeps
But at night how he moans
Through the windows perspex we sit
And talk about sex
Because it's all we have in common
Don't you know

And it's youth, ever fading youth
Would you have lived differently
If you had known this life was on loan?

I recall the blue first night I met you
And gaze through the passing time
Your hair was henna and wine
The contrast in what I dream and reality
Took you back from the club while
Your friends all did drugs
We never spoke about love, just mortality

And it's youth, ever fading youth
Would you have lived differently
If you had known this life was on loan?
And it's youth, ever fading youth
Would you have lived differently
If you had known this life was on loan?

All of these nights you just
Trawl the same streets
Tell the same stories
You count the heart beats
Obsess with the death of the miracle days
I can feel all your dreams
Start to flicker and fade

And it's youth, ever fading youth
Would you have lived differently
If you had known this life was on loan?

Youth, ever fading youth
